[PATCH v1 3/3] efi: Capsule update with user helper interface

From: Kweh Hock Leong
Date: Fri Oct 24 2014 - 02:16:10 EST


From: "Kweh, Hock Leong" <hock.leong.kweh@xxxxxxxxx>

Introducing a kernel module to expose user helper interface for
user to upload capsule binaries. This module leverage the
request_firmware_nowait() to expose an interface to user.

Example steps to load the capsule binary:
1.) echo 1 > /sys/class/firmware/efi-capsule-file/loading
2.) cat capsule.bin > /sys/class/firmware/efi-capsule-file/data
3.) echo 0 > /sys/class/firmware/efi-capsule-file/loading

Whereas, this module does not allow the capsule binaries to be
obtained from the request_firmware library search path. If any
capsule binary loaded from firmware seach path, the module will
stop functioning.

Besides the request_firmware user helper interface, this module
also expose a 'capsule_loaded' file note for user to verify
the number of successfully uploaded capsule binaries. This
file note has the read only attribute.
