Cover letter [PATCH 00/10] arm64 EFI patches for 3.19
Hi Ard,
Quoted 10 lines · Ard Biesheuvel
This is a bit of a mixed bag of patches that we would like to see merged for 3.19. Most of them have been posted and discussed on linux-efi and/or LAKML before, and one of them has even been merged and reverted twice.
Patches #1 - #4 are fixes for compliance with the UEFI and PE/COFF specs. No issues are known that require these patches, so there is no reason to pull them into a stable release.
Patches #5 and #6 address minor issues in the arm64 EFI init code.
Quoted 8 lines
Patches #7 - #10 implement DMI/SMBIOS for arm64, both the existing 32-bit version and the upcoming 3.0 version that allows the SMBIOS structure table to reside at a physical offset that cannot be encoded in 32-bits. It also install a 'Hardware: xxx' string that is printed along with oopses and kernel call stack dumps on systems that implement DMI/SMBIOS.
Please refer to the patches themselves for version history. Acks and/or comments appreciated.
It would be helpful for me if you could split this into two series -- one for the arm64 tree and the other for the efi tree. That would also make the dependencies clearer, so I know whether any of the arch bits need to go via Matt.
Cheers,
Will
