smbios: print the properties only when they exist in a specified version of spec

2026-02-18T14:27:51+00:00

By checking the payload length, we can know the version of the spec and
skip the ones which are not expected to exist.

smbios: add support for dynamic generation of Type 19 table

2026-02-18T14:27:51+00:00

This commit implements SMBIOS Type 19 (Memory Array Mapped Address)
generation with a hybrid approach supporting both:

1. Explicit definition via Device Tree 'smbios' node:
   Child node under '/smbios/smbios/memory-array-mapped-address' will be
   used to populate as individual Type 19 structure directly.
   - Properties follow SMBIOS field names with lowercase letters and
     hyphen-separated words (e.g., 'starting-address', 'ending-address',
     'partition-width', etc.).
   - This method supports precise platform-defined overrides and system
     descriptions.

2. Fallback to automatic DT-based discovery:
   If child node under '/smbios/smbios/memory-array-mapped-address' does
   not exist, the implementation will:
   - Scan all top-level 'memory@' nodes to populate Type 19 structure with
     inferred size and location data.
   - Scan nodes named or marked as 'memory-controller' and parse
     associated 'dimm@' subnodes (if present) to extract DIMM sizes and
     map them accordingly.

This dual-mode support enables flexible firmware SMBIOS reporting while
aligning with spec-compliant naming and runtime-detected memory topology.

Type 19 support is under GENERATE_SMBIOS_TABLE_VERBOSE to avoid
increasing rom size for those platforms which only require basic SMBIOS
support.

     ' memory-error-information-handle', 'configured-memory-speed', etc.).

generation with a hybrid approach supporting both:

   - Properties follow SMBIOS field names with lowercase letters and

     'maximum-capacity', 'extended-maximum-capacity', etc.).

smbios: add support for dynamic generation of Type 9 system slot tables

2026-02-18T14:27:51+00:00

This commit introduces support for generating SMBIOS Type 9 (System Slot)
tables using a hybrid approach:

1. Explicit Device Tree definitions:
   Child node under '/smbios/smbios/system-slot' will be interpreted as
   individual slot definitions.
   - Each child represents a slot (e.g., isa, pcmcia, etc.).
   - Properties follow the SMBIOS specification using lowercase
     hyphen-separated names such as 'slot-type', 'slot-id',
     'segment-group-number', 'bus-number', 'slot-information', etc.
   - This approach allows full customization of each system slot and is
     especially suitable for platforms with well-defined slot topology.

2. Automatic detection fallback:
   If child node under '/smbios/smbios/system-slot' does not exist, the
   implementation will scan the entire device tree for nodes whose
   'device_type' matches known slot-related types ("pci", "isa", "pcmcia",
   etc.).
   - When a match is found, default values or heuristics are applied to
     populate to the System Slot table.
   - This mode is useful for platforms that lack explicit SMBIOS nodes
     but still expose slot topology via standard DT conventions.

Together, two approaches ensure that SMBIOS Type 9 entries are available
whether explicitly described or automatically derived.

smbios: Fix warning when building with clang

2025-11-18T21:53:39+00:00

When building with clang, we see warnings such as:
error: field max_size within 'struct smbios_type7' is less aligned than
'union cache_size_word' and is usually due to 'struct smbios_type7'
being packed, which can lead to unaligned accesses
[-Werror,-Wunaligned-access]
when building drivers/sysinfo/smbios.c. Resolve this error by packing
the unions as well after verifying they are complete (16 or 32 bits).

cmd: update smbios cmd

2025-01-14T20:29:29+00:00

Update the cmd according to the changes of the smbios library:
1. Refactor smbios cmd print functions to match the content defined
   by the specification.
2. Add new print functions for Type 3, 4 and 7.
3. Remove the fallback string "Not specified" from smbios_get_string,
   as the spec requires a NULL output for those undefined strings.
4. Update the test_cmd_smbios_sandbox pytest expected result to
   align with the smbios library changes and add new pytest
   test_cmd_smbios_sysinfo_verbose to test the verbose smbios
   output.

smbios: Refactor smbios library

2025-01-14T20:29:29+00:00

Current smbios library does not fully match to the specification.
It hardcodes values instead of exposing values from the device.
It does not reserve the space to support dynamic length for
contained object handles or elements and misses the handling of
a few of fields.

The refactoring of this patch includes:
1. Expose values from device via sysinfo interface.
2. Replace smbios_add_prop with smbios_add_prop_si to allow getting
   string values from sysinfo.
3. Add smbios_get_val_si to get values from sysinfo or device tree.
4. Use sysinfo_get_data to get data area.
5. Reserve the space of contained object handles and elements.
6. Miscellaneous fixes in smbios.
