Subject: [Patch 0/3] firmware: dmi_scan: add SBMIOS entry point and DMI tables
Date: Thu,  2 Apr 2015 15:57:00 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1427979423-22767-1-git-send-email-ivan.khoronzhuk@globallogic.com> (raw)

This series adds SMBIOS entry point table and DMI table under
/sys/firmware/dmi/tables in order to use as an alternative to utilities
reading them from /dev/mem.

This is logical continuation of
"[Patch] firmware: dmi_scan: split dmisubsystem from dmi-sysfs"
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/3/16/1070

Based on efi/next

Last changes:
	- renamed dmi_table to dmi_decode_table
	- moved tables under /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/
	- avoid "subsystem" word
	- split in separate patch correction of dmi-sysfs documentation
	- using -ENOSYS instead of -EINVAL
	- use user read only rights for table attributes
	- use "static" for attributes
	- check only dmi_available for table presents
	- don't correct dmi_walk to constantly map dmi_table
	- explicitly delete binary attributes
	- assign dmi_kobj = NULL in case of error
	- don't export dmi_kobj if CONFIG_DMI is not set
	- improve read callback for table attributes
