/* * Discovered on X99-series. * These platforms have uncore PCI bridges for 4 CPU sockets * present in ACPI despite having none physically. * * Under normal conditions these are disabled depending on * CPU presence in the socket via Processor Bit Mask (PRBM), * but on X99 this code is unused or broken as such bridges * simply do not exist. We fix that by writing 0 to PRBM. * * Doing so is important as starting with macOS 11 IOPCIFamily * will crash as soon as it sees non-existent PCI bridges. */ DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 2, "ACDT", "UNC", 0x00000000) { External (_SB.UNC0, DeviceObj) External (PRBM, IntObj) Scope (_SB.UNC0) { Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized) { // In most cases this patch does benefit all operating systems, // yet on select pre-Windows 10 it may cause issues. // Remove If (_OSI ("Darwin")) in case you have none.
