firmware/dmi: Report DMI Bios & EC firmware release

2020-06-06T09:35:50+00:00

Some vendors like HPe or Dell, encode the release version of their BIOS
in the "System BIOS {Major|Minor} Release" fields of Type 0.

This information is used to know which bios release actually runs.
It could be used for some quirks, debugging sessions or inventory tasks.

A typical output for a Dell system running the 65.27 bios is :
	[root@t1700 ~]# cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_release
	65.27
	[root@t1700 ~]#

Servers that have a BMC encode the release version of their firmware in the
 "Embedded Controller Firmware {Major|Minor} Release" fields of Type 0.

This information is used to know which BMC release actually runs.
It could be used for some quirks, debugging sessions or inventory tasks.

A typical output for a Dell system running the 3.75 bmc release is :
    [root@t1700 ~]# cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/ec_firmware_release
    3.75
    [root@t1700 ~]#

firmware: dmi: Add macro SMBIOS_ENTRY_POINT_SCAN_START

2020-03-23T14:44:04+00:00

Use SMBIOS_ENTRY_POINT_SCAN_START instead of 0xF0000, because other
archtecture maybe use a special start address such as 0xFFFE000 for
Loongson platform.

firmware: dmi: Add dmi_memdev_handle

2019-12-03T10:20:37+00:00

Add a utility function dmi_memdev_handle() which returns the DMI
handle associated with a given memory slot. This will allow kernel
drivers to iterate over the memory slots.

firmware: dmi: Remember the memory type

2019-12-03T10:20:37+00:00

Store the memory type while walking the memory slots, and provide a
way to retrieve it later.

firmware: dmi: Fix unlikely out-of-bounds read in save_mem_devices

2019-10-14T19:41:24+00:00

Before reading the Extended Size field, we should ensure it fits in
the DMI record. There is already a record length check but it does
not cover that field.

It would take a seriously corrupted DMI table to hit that bug, so no
need to worry, but we should still fix it.

treewide: Add SPDX license identifier for missed files

2019-05-21T08:50:45+00:00

Add SPDX license identifiers to all files which:

 - Have no license information of any form

 - Have EXPORT_.*_SYMBOL_GPL inside which was used in the
   initial scan/conversion to ignore the file

These files fall under the project license, GPL v2 only. The resulting SPDX
license identifier is:

  GPL-2.0-only

efi: Unify DMI setup code over the arm/arm64, ia64 and x86 architectures

2019-03-29T06:35:00+00:00

All architectures (arm/arm64, ia64 and x86) do the same here, so unify
the code.

Note: We do not need to call dump_stack_set_arch_desc() in case of
!dmi_available. Both strings, dmi_ids_string and dump_stack_arch_
desc_str are initialized zero and thus nothing would change.
