[PATCH] applesmc: add sysfs file to report OSK

From: Gabriel L. Somlo
Date: Mon Dec 10 2012 - 10:03:00 EST


The AppleSMC contains two char[32] keys, OSK0 and OSK1, which are not
reported in the key count and index by default. These keys are used by
the OS X boot sequence, and normally don't matter when running Linux.

This patch creates a sysfs entry which reports the value of these keys
as an ASCII string, to help emulators (such as QEMU) load OS X when
running on genuine Apple hardware.

For extra context: To boot OS X as a guest, QEMU must (among others)
emulate the AppleSMC. To boot successfully, OS X insists on querying
the (emulated) SMC for the value of OSK0 and OSK1. Currently, these
values must be supplied on the QEMU command line as

-device applesmc,osk="...concatenated values of OSK0 and OSK1..."

With the availability of /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/osk, the
emulated QEMU AppleSMC could acquire this string directly from the
(Apple-manufactured) host machine.

Thanks,
Gabriel
