From 05131ecc99ea9da7f45ba3058fe8a2c1d0ceeab8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Venkatesh Pallipadi Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2005 16:31:00 -0400 Subject: [ACPI] Avoid BIOS inflicted crashes by evaluating _PDC only once Linux invokes the AML _PDC method (Processor Driver Capabilities) to tell the BIOS what features it can handle. While the ACPI spec says nothing about the OS invoking _PDC multiple times, doing so with changing bits seems to hopelessly confuse the BIOS on multiple platforms up to and including crashing the system. Factor out the _PDC invocation so Linux invokes it only once. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5483 Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi Signed-off-by: Len Brown --- drivers/acpi/processor_perflib.c | 2 -- 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'drivers/acpi/processor_perflib.c') diff --git a/drivers/acpi/processor_perflib.c b/drivers/acpi/processor_perflib.c index 22c7bb66c200..532370734c68 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/processor_perflib.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/processor_perflib.c @@ -315,8 +315,6 @@ static int acpi_processor_get_performance_info(struct acpi_processor *pr) if (!pr || !pr->performance || !pr->handle) return_VALUE(-EINVAL); - acpi_processor_set_pdc(pr, pr->performance->pdc); - status = acpi_get_handle(pr->handle, "_PCT", &handle); if (ACPI_FAILURE(status)) { ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, -- cgit v1.2.3
