The following regression is reported when the table length is very large:

 ---[ end trace 11ae599a1898f4e7 ]---
This is due to the size limitation of the x86 early IO mapping.
There is a large SSDT table on such platform that exceeds this limitation:
 ACPI: SSDT 0x00000000B9638018 07A0C4 (v02 INTEL  S2600CP  00004000 INTL 20100331)

It sounds strange that in the 64-bit virtual memory address space, we
cannot map a single ACPI table to do checksum verification. The root cause
is:
1. ACPICA doesn't split IO memory mapping and table mapping;
2. Linux x86 OSL implements acpi_os_map_memory() using a size limited fix-map
   mechanism during early boot stage, which is more suitable for only IO
   mappings.

ACPICA originally only mapped table header for signature validation, and
this header mapping is required by OSL override mechanism. There was no
checksum verification because we could not map the whole table using this
OSL. While the following ACPICA commit enforces checksum verification by
mapping the whole table during Linux boot stage and it finally triggers
this issue on some platforms:
  Commit: 86dfc6f339886559d80ee0d4bd20fe5ee90450f0
  Subject: ACPICA: Tables: Fix table checksums verification before installation.

Before doing further cleanups for the OSL table mapping and override
implementation, this patch introduces an option for such OSPMs to
temporarily discard the checksum verification feature. It then can be
re-enabled easily when the ACPICA and the underlying OSL is ready.

This patch also deletes a comment around the limitation of mappings because
it is not correct. The limitation is not how many times we can map in the
early stage, but the OSL mapping facility may not be suitable for mapping
the ACPI tables and thus may complain us the size limitation.

The acpi_tb_verify_table() is renamed to acpi_tb_verify_temp_table() due to the
work around added, it now only applies to the table descriptor that hasn't
been installed and cannot be used in other cases. Lv Zheng.

The "Note that ..." thing is completely unuseful here, because it is not
particularly clear why being unable to use large mappings is related to
this option (I know it is, but a casual reader may not know that).

What about "Note that enabling this option causes errors to happen in
some OSPMs during early initialization stages" instead?

Please fix the double "is".

Thanks!

There is a warning message triggered by the early table chekcusm
verification during boot. Large tables cannot be installed on x86 platforms
due to this failure. The root cause is the size limitation of the current
x86 early mapping implementation, it's thus not suitable to be used to map
ACPI tables.

This patchset fixes this regression by stopping verifying table checksums
during the early boot stage.

Lv Zheng (2):
  ACPICA: Tables: Add mechanism to control early table checksum
    verification.
  ACPI: Fix regressions that x86 Linux kernel suffers from early
    mapping size limitation.

Both queued up for 3.16.

If they are needed in -stable, please take care of sending an appropriate
inclusion request to stable@vger.kernel.org after they have been merged into
the Linus' tree.

Thanks!
