.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
These functions provide a general-purpose interface for dealing with
|
|
|
|
|
the BIOS functions and data encountered on x86 PC-architecture systems.
|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20n
|
|
|
|
|
.It Fn bios_sigsearch
|
|
|
|
|
Searches the BIOS address space for a service signature, usually an
|
|
|
|
|
uppercase ASCII sequence surrounded by underscores. The search begins
|
|
|
|
|
at
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa start ,
|
|
|
|
|
or at the beginning of the BIOS if
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa start
|
|
|
|
|
is zero.
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa siglen
|
|
|
|
|
bytes of the BIOS image and
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa sig
|
|
|
|
|
are compared at
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa sigofs
|
|
|
|
|
bytes offset from the current location. If no match is found, the
|
|
|
|
|
current location is incremented by
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa paralen
|
|
|
|
|
bytes and the search repeated. If the signature is found, its effective
|
|
|
|
|
physical address is returned. If no signature is found, zero is returned.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Fn BIOS_VADDRTOPADDR
|
|
|
|
|
Returns the effective physical address which corresponds to the kernel
|
|
|
|
|
virtual address
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa addr .
|
|
|
|
|
.It Fn BIOS_VADDRTOPADDR
|
|
|
|
|
Returns the kernel virtual address which corresponds to the effective
|
|
|
|
|
physical address
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa addr .
|
|
|
|
|
.It SMBIOStable
|
|
|
|
|
If not NULL, points to a
|
|
|
|
|
.Ft struct SMBIOS_table
|
|
|
|
|
structure containing information read from the System Management BIOS table
|
|
|
|
|
during system startup.
|
|
|
|
|
.It DMItable
|
|
|
|
|
If not NULL, points to a
|
|
|
|
|
.Ft struct DMI_table
|
|
|
|
|
structure containing information read from the Desktop Management Interface
|
|
|
|
|
parameter table during system startup.
|
|
|
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
|
.Sh BIOS32
|
|
|
|
|
At system startup, the BIOS is scanned for the BIOS32 Service Directory
|
|
|
|
|
(part of the PCI specification), and the existence of the directory is
|
|
|
|
|
recorded. This can then be used to locate other services.
|
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width 20n
|
|
|
|
|
.It Fn bios32_SDlookup
|
|
|
|
|
Attempts to locate the BIOS32 service matching the 4-byte identifier
|
|
|
|
|
passed in the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa ident
|
|
|
|
|
field of the
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa ent
|
|
|
|
|
argument.
|
|
|
|
|
.It Fn bios32
|
|
|
|
|
Calls a bios32 function. This presumes that the function is capable of
|
|
|
|
|
working within the kernel segment (normally the case). The virtual address
|
|
|
|
|
of the entrypoint is supplied in
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa entry
|
|
|
|
|
and the register arguments to the function are supplied in
|
|
|
|
|
.Fa args .
|
|
|
|
|
.It PCIbios
|
|
|
|
|
If not NULL, points to a
|
|
|
|
|
.Ft struct bios32_SDentry
|
|
|
|
|
structure describing the PCI BIOS entrypoint which was found during system
|
|
|
|
|
startup.
