/*
|

* "Ode to _OSI(Linux)"
|
||||
* The story of _OSI(Linux)
|
||||
*
|
||||
* osi_linux -- Control response to BIOS _OSI(Linux) query.
|
||||
* From pre-history through Linux-2.6.22,
|
||||
* Linux responded TRUE upon a BIOS OSI(Linux) query.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* As Linux evolves, the features that it supports change.
|
||||
* So an OSI string such as "Linux" is not specific enough
|
||||
* to be useful across multiple versions of Linux. It
|
||||
* doesn't identify any particular feature, interface,
|
||||
* or even any particular version of Linux...
|
||||
* Unfortunately, reference BIOS writers got wind of this
|
||||
* and put OSI(Linux) in their example code, quickly exposing
|
||||
* this string as ill-conceived and opening the door to
|
||||
* an un-bounded number of BIOS incompatibilities.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Unfortunately, Linux-2.6.22 and earlier responded "yes"
|
||||
* to a BIOS _OSI(Linux) query. When
|
||||
* a reference mobile BIOS started using it, its use
|
||||
* started to spread to many vendor platforms.
|
||||
* As it is not supportable, we need to halt that spread.
|
||||
* For example, OSI(Linux) was used on resume to re-POST a
|
||||
* video card on one system, because Linux at that time
|
||||
* could not do a speedy restore in its native driver.
|
||||
* But then upon gaining quick native restore capability,
|
||||
* Linux has no way to tell the BIOS to skip the time-consuming
|
||||
* POST -- putting Linux at a permanent performance disadvantage.
|
||||
* On another system, the BIOS writer used OSI(Linux)
|
||||
* to infer native OS support for IPMI! On other systems,
|
||||
* OSI(Linux) simply got in the way of Linux claiming to
|
||||
* be compatible with other operating systems, exposing
|
||||
* BIOS issues such as skipped device initialization.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Today, most BIOS references to _OSI(Linux) are noise --
|
||||
* they have no functional effect and are just dead code
|
||||
* carried over from the reference BIOS.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The next most common case is that _OSI(Linux) harms Linux,
|
||||
* usually by causing the BIOS to follow paths that are
|
||||
* not tested during Windows validation.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Finally, there is a short list of platforms
|
||||
* where OSI(Linux) benefits Linux.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* In Linux-2.6.23, OSI(Linux) is first disabled by default.
|
||||
* DMI is used to disable the dmesg warning about OSI(Linux)
|
||||
* on platforms where it is known to have no effect.
|
||||
* But a dmesg warning remains for systems where
|
||||
* we do not know if OSI(Linux) is good or bad for the system.
|
||||
* DMI is also used to enable OSI(Linux) for the machines
|
||||
* that are known to need it.
|
||||
* So "Linux" turned out to be a really poor chose of
|
||||
* OSI string, and from Linux-2.6.23 onward we respond FALSE.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* BIOS writers should NOT query _OSI(Linux) on future systems.
|
||||
* It will be ignored by default, and to get Linux to
|
||||
* not ignore it will require a kernel source update to
|
||||
* add a DMI entry, or a boot-time "acpi_osi=Linux" invocation.
|
||||
* Linux will complain on the console when it sees it, and return FALSE.
|
||||
* To get Linux to return TRUE for your system will require
|
||||
* a kernel source update to add a DMI entry,
|
||||
* or boot with "acpi_osi=Linux"
