This patch serie fixes a couple of RSDP checksum related issues: - On RSDP rev2, we are not adding the extended checksum and computing the checksum on the full table instead of the first 20 bytes. - On RSDP rev1, we are computing the checksum on 36 bytes instead of 20. We're lucky enough that this is only adding zeroes to the checksum.
A guest Linux kernel does not seem to care about RSDP checksums, so those 2 fixes are mostly for correctness sake. Any machine type that generates rev2 RSDP will see its RSDP table modified but since x86 builds RSDP v1 and all ACPI tests only run on either pc or q35, the ACPI tests tables are not affected by this fix. The serie also extends the ARM virt ACPI RSDP build routine to support both RSDP v1 and v2, in order to share this code between x86 and aarch64. While extending, we also convert the routine to the latest build_append_foo() API. The new implementation is a closer reflection of the ACPI spec itself, is endian agnostic and allows for getting rid of the AcpiRsdpDescriptor structure. v1 -> v2: * Add missing SOBs. * Rephrase some commit messages according to the maintainer's input. * Replace ACPI spec definitions with hard coded constants. * Replace init_rsdp_data() helper with open coded rsdp variable init. * Rename acpi_find_[rx]sdt_address to acpi_get_[rx]sdt_address.
