delphij 2011-06-16 01:52:42 UTC FreeBSD src repository Modified files: (Branch: RELENG_8) sys/dev/atkbdc atkbd.c Log: SVN rev 223134 on 2011-06-16 01:52:42Z by delphij MFC r222795 (jkim) + 222967: Validate INT 15h and 16h vectors more strictly. Traditionally these entry points are fixed addresses and (U)EFI CSM specification also mandated that. Unfortunately, (U)EFI CSM specification does not specifically mention this is to call service routine via interrupt vector table or to jump directly to the entry point. As a result, some CSM seems to install two routines and acts differently, depending on how it was executed, unfortunately. When INT 15h is used, it calls a function pointer (which is probably a UEFI service function). When it jumps directly to the entry point, it executes a simple and traditional INT 15h service routine. Therefore, actually there are two possible fixes, i. e., this fix or jumping directly to the fixed entry point. However, we chose this fix because a) keyboard typematic support via BIOS is becoming extremely rarer and b) we cannot support random service routine installed by a firmware or a boot loader. This should fix Lenovo X220 laptop, specifically. Revision Changes Path 1.54.2.3 +11 -1 src/sys/dev/atkbdc/atkbd.c
