2015-04-30efi/esrt: Fix some compiler warningsPeter Jones1-11/+18
Apparently I missed some compiler warnings on 32-bit platforms, where phys_addr_t isn't the same size as void * and I casted it to make printk work. Obviously I should have thought "I'm printing some random type, instead of typecasting I should check Documentation/printk-formats.txt and see how to do it." o/~ The More You Know ☆彡 o/~ This patch also fixes one other warning about an uninitialized variable some compiler versions seem to see. You can't actually hit the code path where it would be uninitialized, because there's a prior test that would error out, but gcc hasn't figured that out. Anyway, it now has a test and returns the error at both places. Signed-off-by: Peter Jones <pjones@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>
2015-04-30efi: Add esrt supportPeter Jones1-0/+464
Add sysfs files for the EFI System Resource Table (ESRT) under /sys/firmware/efi/esrt and for each EFI System Resource Entry under entries/ as a subdir. The EFI System Resource Table (ESRT) provides a read-only catalog of system components for which the system accepts firmware upgrades via UEFI's "Capsule Update" feature. This module allows userland utilities to evaluate what firmware updates can be applied to this system, and potentially arrange for those updates to occur. The ESRT is described as part of the UEFI specification, in version 2.5 which should be available from http://uefi.org/specifications in early 2015. If you're a member of the UEFI Forum, information about its addition to the standard is available as UEFI Mantis 1090. For some hardware platforms, additional restrictions may be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/jj128256.aspx , and additional documentation may be found at http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/F/5/5F5D16CD-2530-4289-8019-94C6A20BED3C/windows-uefi-firmware-update-platform.docx .
