Subject: [PATCH] firmware: export x86_64 platform flash bios region via sysfs
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2021 18:47:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210618164718.37866-1-hans-gert.dahmen@immu.ne> (raw)

Make the 16MiB long memory-mapped BIOS region of the platform SPI flash
on X86_64 system available via /sys/kernel/firmware/flash_mmap/bios_region
for pen-testing, security analysis and malware detection on kernels
which restrict module loading and/or access to /dev/mem.

It will be used by the open source Converged Security Suite.
