This patchset adds support for reading SMBIOS entry points
and tables from the /sys/firmware/dmi/tables directory. This
removes the dependency on a readable /dev/mem file for decoding the
SMBIOS information for a platform. Output from dmidecode is slightly
changed by patch 3:
- Messages indicating which source is used for the tables
have been added. These are printed before the tables have
been validated so they can go at the top of the output. This
also shows what methods have been tried and failed due invalid
tables.
- the address of the entrypoint is not known when read from sysfs,
so it is not printed.
This patchset does not add support for processing the 64 bit SMBIOS
v3.0 entry point.
This patchset is a followup to "Changes to support /sys/firmware/dmi/tables/"
Roy Franz (4):
add read_file() function for reading sysfs files
Add passing of 64 bit table address to dmi_table()
Add reading of SMBIOS tables from sysfs
Add --no-sysfs option to disable use of sysfs
