Instead of bypassing the kernel's adaptation layer for performing EFI runtime calls, wire up ACPI PRM handling into it. This means these calls can no longer occur concurrently with EFI runtime calls, and will be made from the EFI runtime workqueue. It also means any page faults occurring during PRM handling will be identified correctly as originating in firmware code. Acked-by: Rafael J.

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support for
|
|
Linux requires an ACPI-compliant platform (hardware/firmware),
|
|
and assumes the presence of OS-directed configuration and power
|
|
management (OSPM) software. This option will enlarge your
|
|
kernel by about 70K.
|
|
|
|
Linux ACPI provides a robust functional replacement for several
|
|
legacy configuration and power management interfaces, including
|
|
the Plug-and-Play BIOS specification (PnP BIOS), the
|
|
MultiProcessor Specification (MPS), and the Advanced Power
|
|
Management (APM) specification. If both ACPI and APM support
|
|
are configured, ACPI is used.
|
|
|
|
Linux support for ACPI is based on Intel Corporation's ACPI
|
|
Component Architecture (ACPI CA). For more information on the
|
|
ACPI CA, see:
|
|
<https://acpica.org/>
|
|
|
|
ACPI is an open industry specification originally co-developed by
|
|
Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix, and Toshiba. Currently,
|
|
it is developed by the ACPI Specification Working Group (ASWG) under
|
|
the UEFI Forum and any UEFI member can join the ASWG and contribute
|
|
to the ACPI specification.
|
|
The specification is available at:

|
The platform firmware on some systems expects Linux to return "5" as
|
|
the supported ACPI revision which makes it expose system configuration
|
|
information in a special way.
|
|
|
|
For example, based on what ACPI exports as the supported revision,
|
|
Dell XPS 13 (2015) configures its audio device to either work in HDA
|
|
mode or in I2S mode, where the former is supposed to be used on Linux
|
|
until the latter is fully supported (in the kernel as well as in user
|
|
space).
|
|
|
|
This option enables a DMI-based quirk for the above Dell machine (so
|
|
that HDA audio is exposed by the platform firmware to the kernel) and
|
|
makes it possible to force the kernel to return "5" as the supported
|
|
ACPI revision via the "acpi_rev_override" command line switch.

The kernel accesses the EC through ACPI parsed code provided by BIOS

tables. This option allows to access the EC directly without ACPI
|
|
code being involved.
|
|
Thus this option is a debug option that helps to write ACPI drivers

The PCC Address Space also referred as PCC Operation Region pertains

to the region of PCC subspace that succeeds the PCC signature.
|

The PCC Operation Region works in conjunction with the PCC Table
|
|
(Platform Communications Channel Table). PCC subspaces that are
|
|
marked for use as PCC Operation Regions must not be used as PCC
|
|
subspaces for the standard ACPI features such as CPPC, RASF, PDTT and
|

MPST. These standard features must always use the PCC Table instead.

Enable this feature if you want to set up and install the PCC Address

Platform Runtime Mechanism (PRM) is a firmware interface exposing a

set of binary executables that can be called from the AML interpreter

or directly from device drivers.

Say Y to enable the AML interpreter to execute the PRM code.

substantially increase computational overhead related to the

The Power Management Timer is available on all ACPI-capable,
|
|
in most cases even if ACPI is unusable or blacklisted.
|
|
|
|
This timing source is not affected by power management features
|
|
like aggressive processor idling, throttling, frequency and/or
|
|
voltage scaling, unlike the commonly used Time Stamp Counter
|
|
(TSC) timing source.
|
|
|
|
You should nearly always say Y here because many modern
|
|
systems require this timer.
