This series adds SMBIOS entry point table and DMI table under /sys/firmware/dmi/tables in order to use as an alternative to utilities reading them from /dev/mem.
This is logical continuation of "[Patch] firmware: dmi_scan: split dmisubsystem from dmi-sysfs" https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/16/1070 Based on efi/next Last changes: - renamed dmi_table to dmi_decode_table - moved tables under /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/ - avoid "subsystem" word - split in separate patch correction of dmi-sysfs documentation - using -ENOSYS instead of -EINVAL - use user read only rights for table attributes - use "static" for attributes - check only dmi_available for table presents - don't correct dmi_walk to constantly map dmi_table - explicitly delete binary attributes - assign dmi_kobj = NULL in case of error - don't export dmi_kobj if CONFIG_DMI is not set - improve read callback for table attributes Ivan Khoronzhuk (3): firmware: dmi_scan: rename dmi_table to dmi_decode_table firmware: dmi_scan: add SBMIOS entry and DMI tables Documentation: ABI: sysfs-firmware-dmi: add -entries suffix to file name ...sfs-firmware-dmi => sysfs-firmware-dmi-entries} | 2 +- .../ABI/testing/sysfs-firmware-dmi-tables | 22 ++++++ drivers/firmware/dmi-sysfs.c | 11 +-- drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c | 90 ++++++++++++++++++++-- include/linux/dmi.h | 1 + 5 files changed, 113 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) rename Documentation/ABI/testing/{sysfs-firmware-dmi => sysfs-firmware-dmi-entries} (99%) create mode 100644 Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-firmware-dmi-tables -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
