[Patch v3 2/3] firmware: dmi_scan: add SBMIOS entry and DMI tables
From: Ivan Khoronzhuk
Date: Tue Apr 21 2015 - 11:53:11 EST
Some utils, like dmidecode and smbios, need to access SMBIOS entry
table area in order to get information like SMBIOS version, size, etc.
Currently it's done via /dev/mem. But for situation when /dev/mem
usage is disabled, the utils have to use dmi sysfs instead, which
doesn't represent SMBIOS entry and adds code/delay redundancy when direct
access for table is needed.
So this patch creates dmi/tables and adds SMBIOS entry point to allow
utils in question to work correctly without /dev/mem. Also patch adds
raw dmi table to simplify dmi table processing in user space, as
proposed by Jean Delvare.

+Description:
+ The firmware provides DMI structures as a packed list of
+ data referenced by a SMBIOS table entry point. The SMBIOS
+ entry point contains general information, like SMBIOS
+ version, DMI table size, etc. The structure, content and
+ size of SMBIOS entry point is dependent on SMBIOS version.
+ The format of SMBIOS entry point and DMI structures
+ can be read in SMBIOS specification.
+
+ The dmi/tables provides raw SMBIOS entry point and DMI tables
+ through sysfs as an alternative to utilities reading them
+ from /dev/mem. The raw SMBIOS entry point and DMI table are
+ presented as binary attributes and are accessible via:
+
+ /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/smbios_entry_point
+ /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/DMI
+
+ The complete DMI information can be obtained using these two
+ tables.
