Gabriel Somlo 75f3e8e47f firmware: introduce sysfs driver for QEMU's fw_cfg device
Make fw_cfg entries of type "file" available via sysfs. Entries
are listed under /sys/firmware/qemu_fw_cfg/by_key, in folders
named after each entry's selector key. Filename, selector value,
and size read-only attributes are included for each entry. Also,
a "raw" attribute allows retrieval of the full binary content of
each entry.

The fw_cfg device can be instantiated automatically from ACPI or
the Device Tree, or manually by using a kernel module (or command
line) parameter, with a syntax outlined in the documentation file.

Rafał Miłecki f6e734a8c1 MIPS: BCM47xx: Move NVRAM driver to the drivers/firmware/
After Broadcom switched from MIPS to ARM for their home routers we need
to have NVRAM driver in some common place (not arch/mips/). As explained
in Kconfig, this driver is responsible for parsing SoC configuration
data that is passed to the kernel in flash from the bootloader firmware
called "CFE".

We were thinking about putting it in bus directory, however there are
two possible buses for MIPS: drivers/ssb/ and drivers/bcma/. So this
won't fit there and this is why I would like to move this driver to the
drivers/firmware/.

Jan Beulich fce7d3bfc0 x86/efi: Don't select EFI from certain special ACPI drivers
Commit 7ea6c6c1 ("Move cper.c from drivers/acpi/apei to
drivers/firmware/efi") results in CONFIG_EFI being enabled even
when the user doesn't want this. Since ACPI APEI used to build
fine without UEFI (and as far as I know also has no functional
depency on it), at least in that case using a reverse dependency
is wrong (and a straight one isn't needed).

Whether the same is true for ACPI_EXTLOG I don't know - if there
is a functional dependency, it should depend on EFI rather than
selecting it. It certainly has (currently) no build dependency.

Adjust Kconfig and build logic so that the bad dependency gets
avoided.

and the system is booted with EFI.

This allows
 *) userspace to check for the existence of /sys/firmware/efi as a way
    to determine whether or it is running on an EFI system.
 *) 'mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars' without manually
    loading any modules.

[ Also, move the efivar API into vars.c and unconditionally compile it.
  This allows us to move efivars.c, which now only contains the sysfs
  variable code, into the firmware/efi directory. Note that the efivars.c
  filename is kept to maintain backwards compatability with the old
  efivars.ko module. With this patch it is now possible for efivarfs
  to be built without CONFIG_EFI_VARS - Matt ]

Mike Waychison 74c5b31c66 driver: Google EFI SMI
The "gsmi" driver bridges userland with firmware specific routines for
accessing hardware.

Currently, this driver only supports NVRAM and eventlog information.
Deprecated functions have been removed from the driver, though their
op-codes are left in place so that they are not re-used.

This driver works by trampolining into the firmware via the smi_command
outlined in the FADT table.  Three protocols are used due to various
limitations over time, but all are included herein.

This driver should only ever load on Google boards, identified by either
a "Google, Inc." board vendor string in DMI, or "GOOGLE" in the OEM
strings of the FADT ACPI table.  This logic happens in
gsmi_system_valid().

Mike Waychison 948af1f0bb firmware: Basic dmi-sysfs support
Introduce a new module "dmi-sysfs" that exports the broken out entries
of the DMI table through sysfs.

Entries are enumerated via dmi_walk() on module load, and are populated
as kobjects rooted at /sys/firmware/dmi/entries.

Entries are named "<type>-<instance>", where:
   <type>	: is the type of the entry, and
   <instance>	: is the ordinal count within the DMI table of that
		  entry type.  This instance is used in lieu the DMI
		  entry's handle as no assurances are made by the kernel
		  that handles are unique.

All entries export the following attributes:
   length	: The length of the formatted portion of the entry
   handle	: The handle given to this entry by the firmware
   raw		: The raw bytes of the entire entry, including the
		  formatted portion, the unformatted (strings) portion,
		  and the two terminating nul characters.
   type		: The DMI entry type
   instance	: The ordinal instance of this entry given its type.
   position	: The position ordinal of the entry within the table in
		  its entirety.

Entries in dmi-sysfs are kobject backed members called "struct
dmi_sysfs_entry" and belong to dmi_kset.  They are threaded through
entry_list (protected by entry_list_lock) so that we can find them at
cleanup time.

ibft iscsi boot info is exported in the same place as it was
before: /sys/firmware/ibft.

vendor/fw boot info gets export in /sys/firmware/iscsi_bootX, where X is the
scsi host number of the HBA. Underneath these parent dirs, the
target, ethernet, and initiator dirs are the same as they were before.

Bernhard Walle 69ac9cd629 sysfs: add /sys/firmware/memmap
This patch adds /sys/firmware/memmap interface that represents the BIOS
(or Firmware) provided memory map. The tree looks like:

    /sys/firmware/memmap/0/start   (hex number)
                           end     (hex number)
                           type    (string)
    ...                 /1/start
                           end
                           type

With the following shell snippet one can print the memory map in the same form
the kernel prints itself when booting on x86 (the E820 map).

  --------- 8< --------------------------
    #!/bin/sh
    cd /sys/firmware/memmap
    for dir in * ; do
        start=$(cat $dir/start)
        end=$(cat $dir/end)
        type=$(cat $dir/type)
        printf "%016x-%016x (%s)\n" $start $[ $end +1] "$type"
    done
  --------- >8 --------------------------

That patch only provides the needed interface:

 1. The sysfs interface.
 2. The structure and enumeration definition.
 3. The function firmware_map_add() and firmware_map_add_early()
    that should be called from architecture code (E820/EFI, for
    example) to add the contents to the interface.

If the kernel is compiled without CONFIG_FIRMWARE_MEMMAP, the interface does
nothing without cluttering the architecture-specific code with #ifdef's.

The purpose of the new interface is kexec: While /proc/iomem represents
the *used* memory map (e.g. modified via kernel parameters like 'memmap'
and 'mem'), the /sys/firmware/memmap tree represents the unmodified memory
map provided via the firmware. So kexec can:

 - use the original memory map for rebooting,
 - use the /proc/iomem for setting up the ELF core headers for kdump
   case that should only represent the memory of the system.

The patch has been tested on i386 and x86_64.

Konrad Rzeszutek 138fe4e069 Firmware: add iSCSI iBFT Support
Add /sysfs/firmware/ibft/[initiator|targetX|ethernetX] directories along with
text properties which export the the iSCSI Boot Firmware Table (iBFT)
structure.

What is iSCSI Boot Firmware Table?  It is a mechanism for the iSCSI tools to
extract from the machine NICs the iSCSI connection information so that they
can automagically mount the iSCSI share/target.  Currently the iSCSI
information is hard-coded in the initrd.  The /sysfs entries are read-only
one-name-and-value fields.

The usual set of data exposed is:

# for a in `find /sys/firmware/ibft/ -type f -print`; do  echo -n "$a: ";  cat $a; done
/sys/firmware/ibft/target0/target-name: iqn.2007.com.intel-sbx44:storage-10gb

Lennart Poettering 4f5c791a85 DMI-based module autoloading
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.

Bjorn Helgaas 4f705ae3e9 [PATCH] DMI: move dmi_scan.c from arch/i386 to drivers/firmware/
dmi_scan.c is arch-independent and is used by i386, x86_64, and ia64.
Currently all three arches compile it from arch/i386, which means that ia64
and x86_64 depend on things in arch/i386 that they wouldn't otherwise care
about.

This is simply "mv arch/i386/kernel/dmi_scan.c drivers/firmware/" (removing
trailing whitespace) and the associated Makefile changes.  All three
architectures already set CONFIG_DMI in their top-level Kconfig files.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
