      ACPI: tables: complete searching upon RSDP w/ bad checksum. · 239665a3
      Len Brown 提交于
      ACPI tables follow a tree structure in memory.
      The root of the tree is the RSDP (Root System Description Pointer).
      
      To find the RSDP, the OS searches for the signature "RSD PTR "
      in well known physical memory locations.  Then the OS computes
      a table checksum to verify that the signature is really part
      of a valid table header.
      
      Some systems have a proper signature but an invalid checksum;
      followed elsewhere by a proper signature with valid checksum.
      
      http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9444
      
      The Linux RSDP scanning code bailed out on those systems
      and as a result they booted with ACPI disabled.
      
      Fix this by deleting the Linux RSDP scanning code and
      plugging in the ACPICA RSDP scanning code.

      x86: simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig all.config · 6840999b
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in
      all.config.
      
      For a fix the diffstat is nice:
       6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)
      
      The patch reverts these commits:
       - 0f855aa6 ("kconfig: add helper to set
         config symbol from environment variable")
       - 2a113281 ("kconfig: use $K64BIT to
         set 64BIT with all*config targets")
      
      Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so
      the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were
      not needed.
      
      With this patch we have following behaviour:
      
        # make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
        option \ host arch      | 32bit         | 64bit
        =====================================================
        ./.                     | 32bit         | 64bit
        ARCH=x86                | 32bit         | 32bit
        ARCH=i386               | 32bit         | 32bit
        ARCH=x86_64             | 64bit         | 64bit
      
      The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes
      precedence over the configuration.
      
      So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel
      no matter what the configuration says.  The configuration will
      be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the
      other way around.
      
      This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no
      suprises here.
      
      make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as
      the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit
      and 64-bit using menuconfig.
