From: Linn Crosetto Date: Wed, 8 Nov 2017 15:11:34 +0000 Subject: [17/29] acpi: Disable ACPI table override if the kernel is locked down Origin: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/commit?id=5976d26de05569951641ebeb95f7240993b66063 From the kernel documentation (initrd_table_override.txt): If the ACPI_INITRD_TABLE_OVERRIDE compile option is true, it is possible to override nearly any ACPI table provided by the BIOS with an instrumented, modified one. When securelevel is set, the kernel should disallow any unauthenticated changes to kernel space. ACPI tables contain code invoked by the kernel, so do not allow ACPI tables to be overridden if the kernel is locked down.
