From c637e4861c7db8165d0f438db3829e7878c96059 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhang Rui Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2010 10:46:17 +0800 Subject: ACPI: introduce module parameter acpi.aml_debug_output Introduce module parameter acpi.aml_debug_output. With acpi.aml_debug_output set, we can get AML debug object output (Store (AAA, Debug)), even with CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG cleared. Together with the runtime custom method mechanism, we can debug AML code problems without rebuilding the kernel.
