* SMBIOS/DMI: add type 41 = Onboard Devices Extended InformationWim Van Sebroeck2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From version 2.6 of the SMBIOS standard, type 10 (On Board Devices Information) becomes obsolete. The reason for this is that no further fields can be added to this structure without adversely affecting existing software's ability to properly parse the data. Therefore type 41 (Onboard Devices Extended Information) was added. The structure is as follows: struct smbios_type_41 { u8 type; u8 length; u16 handle; u8 reference_designation_string; u8 device_type; /* same device type as in type 10 */ u8 device_type_instance; u16 segment_group_number; u8 bus_number; u8 device_function_number; }; For more info: http://www.dmtf.org/standards/smbios Signed-off-by: Wim Van Sebroeck <wim@iguana.be> Cc: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Cc: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> Cc: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Cc: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* | dcdbas: add DMI-based module autloadingMatt Domsch2008-02-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DMI autoload dcdbas on all Dell systems. This looks for BIOS Vendor or System Vendor == Dell, so this should work for systems both Dell-branded and those Dell builds but brands for others. It causes udev to load the dcdbas module at startup, which is used by tools called by HAL for wireless control and backlight control, among other uses.

* x86: fix DMI out of memory problemsParag Warudkar2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | People with HP Desktops (including me) encounter couple of DMI errors during boot - dmi_save_oem_strings_devices: out of memory and dmi_string: out of memory. On some HP desktops the DMI data include OEM strings (type 11) out of which only few are meaningful and most other are empty. DMI code religiously creates copies of these 27 strings (65 bytes each in my case) and goes OOM in dmi_string(). If DMI_MAX_DATA is bumped up a little then it goes and fails in dmi_save_oem_strings while allocating dmi_devices of sizeof(struct dmi_device) corresponding to these strings. On x86_64 since we cannot use alloc_bootmem this early, the code uses a static array of 2048 bytes (DMI_MAX_DATA) for allocating the memory DMI needs. It does not survive the creation of empty strings and devices. Fix this by detecting and not newly allocating empty strings and instead using a one statically defined dmi_empty_string. Also do not create a new struct dmi_device for each empty string - use one statically define dmi_device with .name=dmi_empty_string and add that to the dmi_devices list. On x64 this should stop the OOM with same current size of DMI_MAX_DATA and on x86 this should save a good amount of (27*65 bytes + 27*sizeof(struct dmi_device) bootmem. Compile and boot tested on both 32-bit and 64-bit x86.

* drivers/firmware: const-ify DMI API and internalsJeff Garzik2007-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Three main sets of changes: 1) dmi_get_system_info() return value should have been marked const, since callers should not be changing that data. 2) const-ify DMI internals, since DMI firmware tables should, whenever possible, be marked const to ensure we never ever write to that data area. 3) const-ify DMI API, to enable marking tables const where possible in low-level drivers. And if we're really lucky, this might enable some additional optimizations on the part of the compiler. The bulk of the changes are #2 and #3, which are interrelated. #1 could have been a separate patch, but it was so small compared to the others, it was easier to roll it into this changeset.

Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier.

* sysfs: add parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in .read/.write methods for ↵Zhang Rui2007-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sysfs binary attributes Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either. What I do: Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the .read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes. In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work. But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods. I'm not sure if I missed any. :( Why I do this: For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the struct attribute in the .show/.store method, while we can't do this for the binary attributes. I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones. So I think this patch is reasonable. :) Who benefits from it: The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs requires such an improvement. All the table binary attributes share the same .read method. Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get the table signature and instance number which are used to distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes. Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods for different ACPI table binary attributes. This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.

Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded.

* DMI-based module autoloadingLennart Poettering2007-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch below adds DMI/SMBIOS based module autoloading to the Linux kernel. The idea is to load laptop drivers automatically (and other drivers which cannot be autoloaded otherwise), based on the DMI system identification information of the BIOS. Right now most distros manually try to load all available laptop drivers on bootup in the hope that at least one of them loads successfully. This patch does away with all that, and uses udev to automatically load matching drivers on the right machines. Basically the patch just exports the DMI information that has been parsed by the kernel anyway to userspace via a sysfs device /sys/class/dmi/id and makes sure that proper modalias attributes are available. Besides adding the "modalias" attribute it also adds attributes for a few other DMI fields which might be useful for writing udev rules. This patch is not an attempt to export the entire DMI/SMBIOS data to userspace. We already have "dmidecode" which parses the complete DMI info from userspace. The purpose of this patch is machine model identification and good udev integration. To take advantage of DMI based module autoloading, a driver should export one or more MODULE_ALIAS fields similar to these: MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:pnMS-1013:pvr0131*:cvnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:ct10:*"); MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnMicro-StarInternational:pnMS-1058:pvr0581:rvnMSI:rnMS-1058:*:ct10:*"); MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnMicro-StarInternational:pnMS-1412:*:rvnMSI:rnMS-1412:*:cvnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:ct10:*"); MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnNOTEBOOK:pnSAM2000:pvr0131*:cvnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:ct10:*"); These lines are specific to my msi-laptop.c driver. They are basically just a concatenation of a few carefully selected DMI fields with all potentially bad characters stripped. Besides laptop drivers, modules like "hdaps", the i2c modules and the hwmon modules are good candidates for "dmi:" MODULE_ALIAS lines. Besides merely exporting the DMI data via sysfs the patch adds support for a few more DMI fields. Especially the CHASSIS fields are very useful to identify different laptop modules. The patch also adds working MODULE_ALIAS lines to my msi-laptop.c driver. I'd like to thank Kay Sievers for helping me to clean up this patch for posting it on lkml. Patch is against Linus' current GIT HEAD. Should probably apply to older kernels as well without modification.
