Subject: x86, setup: ACPI 3, BIOS workaround for E820-probing code
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c549e71d073a6e9a4847497344db28a784061455;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

x86, setup: ACPI 3, BIOS workaround for E820-probing code

Impact: ACPI 3 spec compliance, BIOS bug workaround

The ACPI 3 spec added another field to the E820 buffer -- which is
backwards incompatible, since it contains a validity bit.
Furthermore, there has been at least one report of a BIOS which
assumes that the buffer it is pointed at is the same buffer as for the
previous E820 call.  Therefore, read the data into a temporary buffer
and copy the standard part of it if and only if the valid bit is set.
