Subject: ACPICA: acpiexec: Add testability of deferred table verification
Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc1
Git-commit: 979fba9452b8111a83f555becea0a63c377e4e73
References: bsc#1117419
ACPICA commit 04c28c7549e694ea85f40bcc816039e5fbb4169c
This patch adds testability of deferred table verification mechanism. As
acpiexec uses dynamically allocated root table list from its very early
stage, a change to acpi_reallocate_root_table() is required to allow deferred
table verification mechanism to be triggered in such an environment. Note
that acpi_gbl_enable_table_validation is still TRUE by default, thus:
1. Developers need to manually set acpi_gbl_enable_table_validation to FALSE
for acpiexec to enable this test.
2. For all other OSPMs (Linux, BSDs, etc.), this commit is a no-op.
