[PATCH v7 15/15] platform/x86: dell-smbios-wmi: introduce userspace interface

From: Mario Limonciello
Date: Wed Oct 11 2017 - 12:28:15 EST


It's important for the driver to provide a R/W ioctl to ensure that
two competing userspace processes don't race to provide or read each
others data.

This userspace character device will be used to perform SMBIOS calls
from any applications.

It provides an ioctl that will allow passing the WMI calling
interface buffer between userspace and kernel space.

This character device is intended to deprecate the dcdbas kernel module
and the interface that it provides to userspace.

To use the character device the buffer needed for the machine will
also be needed. This information is exported to a sysfs attribute by
the WMI bus in "required_buffer_size".

The API for interacting with this interface is defined in documentation
as well as the WMI uapi header provides the format of the structures.

+Description:
+ Perform SMBIOS calls on supported Dell machines.
+ through the Dell ACPI-WMI interface.
+
+ IOCTL's and buffer formats are defined in:
+ <uapi/linux/wmi.h>
+
+ 1) To perform a call from userspace, you'll need to first
+ determine the minimum size of the calling interface buffer
+ for your machine.
+ Platforms that contain larger buffers can return larger
+ objects from the system firmware.
+ Commonly this size is either 4k or 32k.
+
+ To determine the size of the buffer, look in the device's
+ directory in sysfs for a "required_buffer_size" attribute.
+
+ 2) After you've determined the minimum size of the calling
+ interface buffer, you can allocate a structure that represents
+ the structure documented above.
+
+ 3) In the 'length' object store the size of the buffer you
+ determined above and allocated.
+
+ 4) In this buffer object, prepare as necessary for the SMBIOS
+ call you're interested in. Typically SMBIOS buffers have
+ "class", "select", and "input" defined to values that coincide
+ with the data you are interested in.
+ Documenting class/select/input values is outside of the scope
+ of this documentation. Check with the libsmbios project for
+ further documentation on these values.
+
+ 6) Run the call by using ioctl() as described in the header.
+
+ 7) The output will be returned in the buffer object.
+
+ 8) Be sure to free up your allocated object.
