[PATCH 15/27] acpi: Ignore acpi_rsdp kernel param when the kernel has been locked down

From: dhowells@redhat.com (David Howells)
Date: 2017-10-19 14:52:32
Also in: linux-efi, lkml
Subsystem: acpi, the rest · Maintainers: "Rafael J. Wysocki", Linus Torvalds

From: Josh Boyer <redacted>

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.
