Thomas Petazzoni 7ae9392c0a x86: configurable DMI scanning code
Turn CONFIG_DMI into a selectable option if EMBEDDED is defined, in
order to be able to remove the DMI table scanning code if it's not
needed, and then reduce the kernel code size.

With CONFIG_DMI (i.e before) :

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
1076076  128656   98304 1303036  13e1fc vmlinux

Without CONFIG_DMI (i.e after) :

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
1068092  126308   98304 1292704  13b9a0 vmlinux

Result:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
  -7984   -2348       0  -10332   -285c vmlinux

The new option appears in "Processor type and features", only when
CONFIG_EMBEDDED is defined.

This patch is part of the Linux Tiny project, and is based on previous work
done by Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com>.

Wim Van Sebroeck b4bd7d5945 SMBIOS/DMI: add type 41 = Onboard Devices Extended Information
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;
};

Jeff Garzik 1855256c49 drivers/firmware: const-ify DMI API and internals
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.

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.

Shem Multinymous 2e0c1f6ce7 [PATCH] DMI: Decode and save OEM String information
This teaches dmi_decode() how to decode and save OEM Strings (type 11) DMI
information, which is currently discarded silently.  Existing code using
DMI is not affected.  Follows the "System Management BIOS (SMBIOS)
Specification" (http://www.dmtf.org/standards/smbios), and also the
userspace dmidecode.c code.

OEM Strings are the only safe way to identify some hardware, e.g., the
ThinkPad embedded controller used by the soon-to-be-submitted tp_smapi
driver.  This will also let us eliminate the long whitelist in the mainline
hdaps driver (in a future patch).

Andi Kleen f083a329e6 [PATCH] x86_64: Clean up and tweak ACPI blacklist year code
- Move the core parser into dmi_scan.c.  It can be useful for other
   subsystems too.
 - Differentiate between field doesn't exist and field is 0 or
   unparseable.  The first case is likely an old BIOS with broken ACPI,
   the later is likely a slightly buggy BIOS where someone forget to
   edit the date.  Don't blacklist in the later case.

Andi Kleen e992867445 [PATCH] x86_64: Generalize DMI and enable for x86-64
Some people need it now on 64bit so reuse the i386 code for
x86-64. This will be also useful for future bug workarounds.

It is a bit simplified there because there is no need
to do it very early on x86-64. This means it doesn't need
early ioremap et.al. We run it as a core initcall right now.

I hope it's not needed for early setup.

I added a general CONFIG_DMI symbol in case IA64 or someone
else wants to reuse the code later too.

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!
