2019-08-08efi: Export Runtime Configuration Interface table to sysfsNarendra K1-0/+8
System firmware advertises the address of the 'Runtime Configuration Interface table version 2 (RCI2)' via an EFI Configuration Table entry. This code retrieves the RCI2 table from the address and exports it to sysfs as a binary attribute 'rci2' under /sys/firmware/efi/tables directory. The approach adopted is similar to the attribute 'DMI' under /sys/firmware/dmi/tables. RCI2 table contains BIOS HII in XML format and is used to populate BIOS setup page in Dell EMC OpenManage Server Administrator tool. The BIOS setup page contains BIOS tokens which can be configured.

2015-05-27efi: Add 'systab' information to Documentation/ABIMatt Fleming1-0/+10
It's not clear right now that the order in which entries are displayed in /sys/firmware/efi/systab actually forms an ABI that userspace tools rely upon. Document the ABI along with the userspace tool that cares.

2013-12-21efi: Export more EFI table variables to sysfsDave Young1-0/+20
Export fw_vendor, runtime and config table physical addresses to /sys/firmware/efi/{fw_vendor,runtime,config_table} because kexec kernels need them. From EFI spec these 3 variables will be updated to virtual address after entering virtual mode. But kernel startup code will need the physical address.
