[PATCH V35 15/29] acpi: Ignore acpi_rsdp kernel param when the kernel has been locked down

From: Matthew Garrett
Date: Mon Jul 15 2019 - 16:02:01 EST


From: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@xxxxxxxxxx>

This option allows userspace to pass the RSDP address to the kernel, which
makes it possible for a user to modify the workings of hardware . Reject
the option when the kernel is locked down.
