The order of the _OSI related functionalities is as follows:
acpi_blacklisted()
acpi_dmi_osi_linux()
acpi_osi_setup()
acpi_osi_setup()
acpi_update_interfaces() if "!*"
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
parse_args()
__setup("acpi_osi=")
acpi_osi_setup_linux()
acpi_update_interfaces() if "!*"
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
acpi_early_init()
acpi_initialize_subsystem()
acpi_ut_initialize_interfaces()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
acpi_bus_init()
acpi_os_initialize1()
acpi_install_interface_handler(acpi_osi_handler)
acpi_osi_setup_late()
acpi_update_interfaces() for "!"
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
acpi_osi_handler()
Since acpi_osi_setup_linux() can override acpi_dmi_osi_linux(), the command
line setting can override the DMI detection. That's why acpi_blacklisted()
is put before __setup("acpi_osi=").
Then we can notice the following wrong invocation order. There are
acpi_update_interfaces() (marked by <<<<) calls invoked before
acpi_ut_initialize_interfaces() (marked by ^^^^). This makes it impossible
to use acpi_osi=!* correctly from OSI DMI table or from the command line.
The use of acpi_osi=!* is meant to disable both ACPICA
(acpi_gbl_supported_interfaces) and Linux specific strings
(osi_setup_entries) while the ACPICA part should have stopped working
because of the order issue.
This patch fixes this issue by moving acpi_update_interfaces() to where
it is invoked for acpi_osi=! (marked by >>>>) as this is ensured to be
invoked after acpi_ut_initialize_interfaces() (marked by ^^^^). Linux
specific strings are still handled in the original place in order to make
the following command line working: acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Module Device".
Note that since acpi_osi=!* is meant to further disable linux specific
string comparing to the acpi_osi=!, there is no such use case in our bug
fixing work and hence there is no one using acpi_osi=!* either from the
command line or from the DMI quirks, this issue is just a theoretical
issue.
