Description:
|
|
CBMEM is a downwards-growing memory region created by Coreboot,
|
|
and contains tagged data structures to be shared with payloads
|
|
in the boot process and the OS. Each CBMEM entry is given a
|
|
directory in /sys/bus/coreboot/devices based on its id.
|
|
A list of ids known to Coreboot can be found in the coreboot
|
|
source tree at
|
|
``src/commonlib/bsd/include/commonlib/bsd/cbmem_id.h``.

This is the physical memory address that the CBMEM entry's data
|

begins at, in hexadecimal (e.g., ``0x76ffe000``).

|
Description:
|
|
A file exposing read/write access to the entry's data. Note
|
|
that this file does not support mmap(), as coreboot
|
|
does not guarantee that the data will be page-aligned.
|
|
|
|
The mode of this file is 0600. While there shouldn't be
|
|
anything security-sensitive contained in CBMEM, read access
|
|
requires root privileges given this is exposing a small subset
|
|
of physical memory.
