Hi, IMO, if you want the new _CRS to be applied during the Linux early boot stage, you can override the table using initrd override or DSDT override mechanism. Please see Documentation/acpi/initrd_table_override.txt or Documentation/acpi/dsdt-override.txt.
If you want the new _CRS to be applied during Linux runtime, you can override it using method customization mechanism. Please see Documentation/acpi/method-customizing.txt Thanks and best regards -Lv -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Daniel J Blueman Sent: Sunday, November 29, 2015 6:59 PM To: [email protected]; LKML <[email protected]> Cc: Steffen Persvold <[email protected]>; Myron Stowe <[email protected]> Subject: overriding ACPI _CRS method In firmware that is loaded after the BIOS, I need to trim the root bus resource (0x40000000-0xdfffffff) covering the MMIO window [1], so I can attach further PCI domains. One strategy is to override the BIOS's DSDT [2] _SB.PCI0._CRS method; even when my firmware appends the bytecode for a new _CRS method [3], alas I see AE_ALREADY_EXISTS [4]. I understood methods were overrideable within the same table (eg not from an SSDT), but perhaps am missing something? Or any better approach to reduce the scope of the PCI domain 0000 root bus? Thanks!
