.Nm efirtc
|
|
.Nd user-mode access to UEFI runtime services
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset -indent
|
|
.Cd "options EFIRT"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following
|
|
line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
efirt_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The driver may be disabled by setting the
|
|
.Xr loader 8
|
|
tunable
|
|
.Va efi.rt.disabled
|
|
to
|
|
.Dq Li 1 .
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
device provides user-mode access to UEFI runtime services.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
also includes a driver to provide a time-of-day clock using the UEFI
|
|
real time clock (RTC).
|
|
However, the RTC may not always be available, based on the UEFI firmware.
|
|
If the RTC is not available, it will not be registered as a time-of-day clock
|
|
and the time related ioctls below will not be functional.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
provides the following ioctls defined in
|
|
.In sys/efiio.h
|
|
with supplemental structures and constants defined in
|
|
.In sys/efi.h :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Dv EFIIOC_GET_TABLE Pq Vt "struct efi_get_table_ioc"
|
|
Get a table by uuid from the UEFI system table.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
struct efi_get_table_ioc {
|
|
struct uuid uuid;
|
|
void *ptr;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It Dv EFIIOC_GET_TIME Pq Vt "struct efi_tm"
|
|
Get the time from the RTC, if the RTC is available.
|
|
The
|
|
.Vt struct efi_tm
|
|
passed is populated with the current time, unless an error occurs.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
struct efi_tm {
|
|
uint16_t tm_year;
|
|
uint8_t tm_mon
|
|

uint8_t __pad2;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It Dv EFIIOC_SET_TIME Pq Vt "struct efi_tm"
|
|
Sets the time stored by the RTC, if the RTC is available.
|
|
.It Dv EFIIOC_VAR_GET Pq Vt "struct efi_var_ioc"
|
|
Gets data from the variable described by the vendor and name fields of the
|
|
.Vt struct efi_var_ioc
|
|
into the
|
|
.Fa data
|
|
field.
|
|
.Dv EFIIOC_VAR_GET Pq Vt "struct efi_var_ioc"
|
|
will also populate the
|
|
.Fa attrib
|
|
field.

};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It Dv EFIIOC_VAR_NEXT Pq Vt "struct efi_var_ioc"
|
|
Used for enumerating all UEFI variables.
|
|
The initial call should use an empty string for the name attribute.
|
|
Subsequent calls should supply the vendor uuid and name of the last variable
|
|
returned.
|
|
.It Dv EFIIOC_VAR_SET Pq Vt "struct efi_var_ioc"
|
|
Sets data and attributes for the variable described by the name and vendor in
|
|
the
|
|
.Vt struct efi_var_ioc .
