[PATCH v2] acpi: Ignore acpi_rsdp kernel parameter in a secure bootenvironment

From: Josh Boyer
Date: Tue Mar 19 2013 - 13:08:25 EST


This option allows userspace to pass the RSDP address to the kernel. This
could potentially be used to circumvent the secure boot trust model.
This is setup through the setup_arch function, which is called before the
security_init function sets up the security_ops, so we cannot use a
capable call here. We ignore the setting if we are booted in Secure Boot
mode.
