freebsd kernel with SKQ
afd9d8d0cb
etc. can find out where the SMBIOS entry point is located. In pure
UEFI mode the BIOS is not mapped into the standard address space so the
SMBIOS table might not appear between 0xf0000 and 0xfffff. The
UEFI environment can report this the location of the anchor. If it is
reported then expose it as hint.smbios.0.mem. This can then be used
by other tools. However, we should make smbios(4) useful and have it
take this value and provide accesor function so ipmi(4) etc. don't
have to parse and figure things about the SMBIOS table. I have some
simple patches to smbios(4) to expose this address as sysctl and
for ipmi(4) to get the base address. However, the real fix is to
have ipmi(4) ask smbios(4) for what it wants and have smbios(4)
parse it out and return it. This would make smbios(4) useful and reduce
duplicated code. If this address doesn't point to the anchor then
finding SMBIOS info. will fail as if this didn't exist. So there should
be no harm.
With this change and the following hack, dmidecode works on a bunch of
UEFI machines that I tested:
if kenv hint.smbios.0.mem > /dev/null
then
mkdir -p /sys/firmware/efi
mount -t tmpfs -o size=8k tmpfs /sys/firmware/efi
echo "SMBIOS=`kenv hint.smbios.0.mem`" > /sys/firmware/efi/systab
fi
Linux exposes this information via the /sys/firmware/efi/systab file which
dmidecode looks at. We should update dmidecode to do this the FreeBSD
way when we determine what that is!

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree. See build(7) and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process. See build(7), config(8), and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html for more information. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory. GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds. NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used.
