Bug description:
[Impact]
* Support the SMBIOS 3.4 and 3.5 specifications in Jammy
to enable new hardware in LTS release per SRU policy [1].
* Backport of 15 relatively simple patches from dmidecode 3.4
in Kinetic to dmidecode 3.3 in Jammy (vs. 49 for full version).
* Patches are detailed below.
[Test Plan]
* Check no regressions on current systems with SMBIOS < 3.4,
i.e., no output changes in text and binary form.
$ sudo dmidecode > old.txt 2>&1
$ sudo dmidecode --dump-bin old.bin
$ apt install dmidecode # modified package
$ sudo dmidecode > new.txt 2>&1
$ sudo dmidecode --dump-bin new.bin
$ cmp old.txt new.txt; echo $?
0
$ cmp old.bin new.bin; echo $?
0
* Check for expected output on new systems with SMBIOS >= 3.4.

[Where problems could occur]
* Mostly the patches add support for new bits/codes/strings,
so there's no changes expected for the old spec support,
but some patches lightly change things a little bit (but
only one should change a string, as far as I could tell).
* So, theoretically, parsers that expect a very precise
and constant format/string might have issues *in case*
the changes introduced any. (But such tools maybe are
already using the binary form anyway, for more detail.)
[Other info]
* No additional fixes upstream to the included patches.
(The git repo's commits have the 'Fixes:' tag usage.)
There's only 2 more commits after dmidecode-3-4 now.

Hello Mauricio, or anyone else affected,
Accepted dmidecode into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dmidecode/3.3-3ubuntu0.1 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.
If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.
Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in
advance for helping!
N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
[Impact]
* Support the SMBIOS 3.4 and 3.5 specifications in Jammy
to enable new hardware in LTS release per SRU policy [1].
* Backport of 15 relatively simple patches from dmidecode 3.4
in Kinetic to dmidecode 3.3 in Jammy (vs. 49 for full version).
* Patches are detailed below.
[Test Plan]
* Check no regressions on current systems with SMBIOS < 3.4,
i.e., no output changes in text and binary form.
$ sudo dmidecode > old.txt 2>&1
$ sudo dmidecode --dump-bin old.bin
$ apt install dmidecode # modified package
$ sudo dmidecode > new.txt 2>&1
$ sudo dmidecode --dump-bin new.bin
$ cmp old.txt new.txt; echo $?
0
$ cmp old.bin new.bin; echo $?
0
* Check for expected output on new systems with SMBIOS >= 3.4.
$ diff old.txt new.txt

[Where problems could occur]
* Mostly the patches add support for new bits/codes/strings,
so there's no changes expected for the old spec support,
but some patches lightly change things a little bit (but
only one should change a string, as far as I could tell).
* So, theoretically, parsers that expect a very precise
and constant format/string might have issues *in case*
the changes introduced any. (But such tools maybe are
already using the binary form anyway, for more detail.)
[Other info]
* No additional fixes upstream to the included patches.
(The git repo's commits have the 'Fixes:' tag usage.)
There's only 2 more commits after dmidecode-3-4 now.
[Original Description]
Backport the support for SMBIOS 3.4 and 3.5 specifications
in Ubuntu Kinetic (dmidecode 3.4) to Jammy (dmidecode 3.3)
to enable new hardware in the LTS release per SRU policy [1].
[1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Other_safe_cases
[Patchset Details]
Patches 1-8,10-11 are for SMBIOS 3.4;
Patches 9,12-14 are for SMBIOS 3.5;
Patch 15 updates supported version.
01: SMBIOS 3.4: add new codes/strings for memory device type
02: SMBIOS 3.4: add new codes/strings for processor socket
03: SMBIOS 3.4: add new codes/strings for slot characteristics
04: SMBIOS 3.4: add new codes/strings for memory device speed [string
backward-compatible changes]
05: SMBIOS 3.4: add new codes/strings for slot types [changes append '(U.2)'
to 'PCI Express {2,3} SFF-8639' per spec]
06: SMBIOS 3.4: add new codes/strings for processor characteristics
07: SMBIOS 3.4: fix for patches 5-6
08: SMBIOS 3.4: add support for ARM64 Processor ID field based on arch call
[string backward-compatible changes]
09: SMBIOS 3.5: add new codes/strings for processor socket
10: SMBIOS 3.4* prep for patch 11 [string backward-compatible changes]
11: SMBIOS 3.4* add new codes/strings for slot types [string
backward-compatible changes]
12: SMBIOS 3.5: add new codes/strings for manufacturing mode, pointing
devices, onboard devices; introduce slot height
13: SMBIOS 3.5: introduce firmware inventory information (characteristics,
state, components
14: SMBIOS 3.5: add new codes/strings for dmi types
15: SMBIOS 3.5: set suppported smbios version to 3.5 (straight from 3.3)
