acpi_osi= [HW,ACPI] Modify list of supported OS interface strings
- acpi_osi="string1" # add string1 -- only one string
- acpi_osi="!string2" # remove built-in string2
+ acpi_osi="string1" # add string1
+ acpi_osi="!string2" # remove string2
+ acpi_osi=!* # remove all strings
+ acpi_osi=! # disable all built-in OS vendor
+ strings
acpi_osi= # disable all strings
+ 'acpi_osi=!' can be used in combination with single or
+ multiple 'acpi_osi="string1"' to support specific OS
+ vendor string(s). Note that such command can only
+ affect the default state of the OS vendor strings, thus
+ it cannot affect the default state of the feature group
+ strings and the current state of the OS vendor strings,
+ specifying it multiple times through kernel command line
+ is meaningless. This command is useful when one do not
+ care about the state of the feature group strings which
+ should be controlled by the OSPM.
+ Examples:
+ 1. 'acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2000"' is equivalent
+ to 'acpi_osi="Windows 2000" acpi_osi=!', they all
+ can make '_OSI("Windows 2000")' TRUE.
+
+ 'acpi_osi=' cannot be used in combination with other
+ 'acpi_osi=' command lines, the _OSI method will not
+ exist in the ACPI namespace. NOTE that such command can
+ only affect the _OSI support state, thus specifying it
+ multiple times through kernel command line is also
+ meaningless.
+ Examples:
+ 1. 'acpi_osi=' can make 'CondRefOf(_OSI, Local1)'
+ FALSE.
+
+ 'acpi_osi=!*' can be used in combination with single or
+ multiple 'acpi_osi="string1"' to support specific
+ string(s). Note that such command can affect the
+ current state of both the OS vendor strings and the
+ feature group strings, thus specifying it multiple times
+ through kernel command line is meaningful. But it may
+ still not able to affect the final state of a string if
+ there are quirks related to this string. This command
+ is useful when one want to control the state of the
+ feature group strings to debug BIOS issues related to
+ the OSPM features.
+ Examples:
+ 1. 'acpi_osi="Module Device" acpi_osi=!*' can make
+ '_OSI("Module Device")' FALSE.
+ 2. 'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Module Device"' can make
+ '_OSI("Module Device")' TRUE.
+ 3. 'acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Windows 2000"' is
+ equivalent to
+ 'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2000"'
+ and
+ 'acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Windows 2000" acpi_osi=!',
+ they all will make '_OSI("Windows 2000")' TRUE.
