smbios: error handling for invalid addresses

2021-07-24T08:49:51Z

SMBIOS tables only support 32bit addresses. If we don't have memory here handle the error gracefully: * on x86_64 fail to start U-Boot * during UEFI booting ignore the missing table Signed-off-by: Heinrich Schuchardt Reviewed-by: Simon Glass

smbios: Fix calculating BIOS Release Date

2021-07-24T08:49:51Z

BIOS Release Date must be in format mm/dd/yyyy and must be release date. U-Boot currently sets BIOS Release Date from U_BOOT_DMI_DATE macro which is generated from current build timestamp. Fix this issue by setting U_BOOT_DMI_DATE macro to U-Boot version which is better approximation of U-Boot release date than current build timestamp. Current U-Boot versioning is in format yyyy.mm so as a day choose 01. Some operating systems are using BIOS Release Date for detecting when was SMBIOS table filled or if it could support some feature (e.g. BIOS from 1990 cannot support features invented in 2000). So this change also ensures that recompiling U-Boot from same sources but in different year does not change behavior of some operating systems. Macro U_BOOT_DMI_DATE is not used in other file than lib/smbios.c so remove it from global autogenerated files and also from Makefile. Signed-off-by: Pali Rohár Reviewed-by: Simon Glass

smbios: Fix SMBIOS tables

2021-06-28T17:57:13Z

Commit e4f8e543f1a9("smbios: Drop the unused Kconfig options") break SMBIOS tables. The reason is that the patch drops the Kconfig options *after* removing the code using them, but that changes the semantics of the code completely. Prior to the change a non NULL value was used in the 'product' and 'manufacturer ' fields. Chapter 6.2 of the DMTF spec requires Manufacturer and Product Name to be non-null on some of the tables. So let's add sane defaults for Type1/2/3. * Before the patchset: Handle 0x0002, DMI type 2, 14 bytes Base Board Information Manufacturer: Not Specified Product Name: Not Specified Version: Not Specified Serial Number: Not Specified Asset Tag: Not Specified Features: Board is a hosting board Location In Chassis: Not Specified Chassis Handle: 0x0000 Type: Motherboard Invalid entry length (0). DMI table is broken! Stop. * After the patchset: Handle 0x0005, DMI type 32, 11 bytes System Boot Information Status: No errors detected Handle 0x0006, DMI type 127, 4 bytes End Of Table Fixes: e4f8e543f1a9 ("smbios: Drop the unused Kconfig options") Signed-off-by: Ilias Apalodimas

smbios: Fix BIOS Characteristics Extension Byte 2

We currently define the EFI support of an SMBIOS table as the third bit of "BIOS Characteristics Extension Byte 1". The latest DMTF spec defines it on "BIOS Characteristics Extension Byte 2". Signed-off-by: Ilias Apalodimas Remove superfluous assignment. Signed-off-by: Heinrich Schuchardt

smbios: Allow writing to the coreboot version string

2021-03-27T00:59:37Z

When U-Boot is booted from coreboot the SMBIOS tables are written by coreboot, not U-Boot. The existing method of updating the BIOS version string does not work in that case, since gd->smbios_version is only set when U-Boot writes the tables. Add a new function which allows the version to be updated by parsing the tables and writing the string in the correct place. Since coreboot provides a pointer to the SMBIOS tables in its sysinfo structure, this makes it easy to do the update. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass

smbios: Allow a few values to come from sysinfo

2021-02-06T11:20:36Z

While static configuration is useful it cannot cover every case. Sometimes board revisions are encoded in resistor straps and must be read at runtime. The easiest way to provide this information is via sysinfo, since the board can then provide a driver to read whatever is needed. Add some standard sysinfo options for this, and use them to obtain the required information. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass Reviewed-by: Bin Meng

smbios: Add more options for the BIOS version string

2021-02-06T11:20:27Z

At present the version string is obtained from PLAIN_VERSION. Some boards may want to configure this using the device tree, since the build system can more easily insert things there after U-Boot itself is built. Add this option to the code. Also in some cases the version needs to be generated programmatically, such as when it is stored elsewhere in the ROM and must be read first. To handle this, keep a pointer around so that it can be updated later. This works by storing the last string in the context, since it is easier than passing out a little-used extra parameter. Provide a function to update the version string. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass Reviewed-by: Bin Meng

smbios: Track the end of the string table

2021-02-06T11:20:23Z

Add a new member to the context struct which tracks the end of the string table. This allows us to avoid recalculating this at the end. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass Reviewed-by: Bin Meng

smbios: Drop the eos parameter

2021-02-06T11:18:41Z

We can store this in the context and avoid passing it to each function. This makes it easier to follow and will also allow keeping track of the end of the string table (in future patches). Add an 'eos' field to the context and create a function to set it up. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass Reviewed-by: Bin Meng
