2. How does the kernel prevent the firmware from running anything?
- mitxela 14d agoACPI firmware is not code that runs by itself. It is code that the kernel interprets. If the kernel doesn't interpret it, it won't run. SMM firmware runs by itself but also can't interact with ACPI locks anyway.
- p_l 14d agoFor (1) - ACPI is how the kernel knows what addresses maps where. And when a driver claims the same address space, it knows there's a conflict
