Other Firmware Interfaces¶
DMI Interfaces¶
-
int dmi_check_system(const struct dmi_system_id *list)¶
check system DMI data
Parameters
const struct dmi_system_id *list
array of dmi_system_id structures to match against All non-null elements of the list must match their slot's (field index's) data (i.e., each list string must be a substring of the specified DMI slot's string data) to be considered a successful match.
Walk the blacklist table running matching functions until someone returns non zero or we hit the end. Callback function is called for each successful match. Returns the number of matches.
dmi_setup must be called before this function is called.
-
const struct dmi_system_id *dmi_first_match(const struct dmi_system_id *list)¶
find dmi_system_id structure matching system DMI data
Parameters
const struct dmi_system_id *list
array of dmi_system_id structures to match against All non-null elements of the list must match their slot's (field index's) data (i.e., each list string must be a substring of the specified DMI slot's string data) to be considered a successful match.
Walk the blacklist table until the first match is found. Return the pointer to the matching entry or NULL if there's no match.
dmi_setup must be called before this function is called.
-
const char *dmi_get_system_info(int field)¶
return DMI data value
Parameters
int field
data index (see enum dmi_field)
Returns one DMI data value, can be used to perform complex DMI data checks.
-
int dmi_name_in_vendors(const char *str)¶
Check if string is in the DMI system or board vendor name

device type or
DMI_DEV_TYPE_ANY
to match all device typesconst char *name
device name string or
NULL
to match allconst struct dmi_device *from
previous device found in search, or
NULL
for new search.Iterates through the list of known onboard devices. If a device is found with a matching type and name, a pointer to its device structure is returned. Otherwise,
NULL
is returned. A new search is initiated by passingNULL
as the from argument. If from is notNULL
, searches continue from next device.
-
bool dmi_get_date(int field, int *yearp, int *monthp, int *dayp)¶
parse a DMI date
Parameters
int field
data index (see enum dmi_field)

int *monthp
optional out parameter for the month
int *dayp
optional out parameter for the day
The date field is assumed to be in the form resembling [mm[/dd]]/yy[yy] and the result is stored in the out parameters any or all of which can be omitted.
If the field doesn't exist, all out parameters are set to zero and false is returned. Otherwise, true is returned with any invalid part of date set to zero.
On return, year, month and day are guaranteed to be in the range of [0,9999], [0,12] and [0,31] respectively.

Generic System Framebuffers Interface¶
-
void sysfb_disable(void)¶
disable the Generic System Framebuffers support
Parameters

no arguments
Description
This disables the registration of system framebuffer devices that match the generic drivers that make use of the system framebuffer set up by firmware.
It also unregisters a device if this was already registered by sysfb_init().
Context
The function can sleep. A disable_lock mutex is acquired to serialize against sysfb_init(), that registers a system framebuffer device.
Intel Stratix10 SoC Service Layer¶
Some features of the Intel Stratix10 SoC require a level of privilege higher than the kernel is granted. Such secure features include FPGA programming. In terms of the ARMv8 architecture, the kernel runs at Exception Level 1 (EL1), access to the features requires Exception Level 3 (EL3).
The Intel Stratix10 SoC service layer provides an in kernel API for drivers to request access to the secure features. The requests are queued and processed one by one. ARM’s SMCCC is used to pass the execution of the requests on to a secure monitor (EL3).
