[PATCH 17/24] acpi: Ignore acpi_rsdp kernel param when the kernel has been locked down

From: David Howells
Date: Wed Apr 05 2017 - 13:12:53 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 circumvent any restrictions imposed on
loading modules. Ignore the option when the kernel is locked down.
