Enable DMI scanning on the MIPS architecture, this setups DMI identifiers
(dmi_system_id) for printing it out on task dumps and prepares DIMM entry
information (dmi_memdev_info) from the SMBIOS table. With this patch, the
driver can easily match various of mainboards.

In the SMBIOS reference specification, the table anchor string "_SM_" is
present in the address range 0xF0000 to 0xFFFFF on a 16-byte boundary,
but there exists a special case for Loongson platform, when call function
dmi_early_remap, it should specify the start address to 0xFFFE000 due to
it is reserved for SMBIOS and can be normally access in the BIOS.

This patch works fine on the Loongson 3A3000 platform which belongs to
MIPS architecture and has no influence on the other architectures such
as x86 and ARM.

Hi Paul and Jean,

How do you think this patch?

Should I split it into the following two patches?
[PATCH v3 1/2] firmware: dmi: Add macro SMBIOS_ENTRY_POINT_SCAN_START
[PATCH v3 2/2] MIPS: Add support for Desktop Management Interface (DMI)

The first patch is only related with the common dmi code
drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c, the other patch is only related
with the mips code under arch/mips.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know.
I am looking forward to your early reply.

Thanks,

Tiezhu Yang

Looks good to me and you can add:

Reviewed-by: Jean Delvare <jdelvare@suse.de>

for the dmi subsystem part.

I'm fine either way. I you do not split it, as most changes are in the
mips arch files and I do not expect any conflict in the dmi subsystem
part, I believe that the patch should be merged by the mips arch
maintainer.

Is this option harmless to enable for other MIPS platforms? What
happens if it is enabled on devices where PHYS_OFFSET isn't 0, so
0xF0000 is likely not backed by anything and accessing it might hang
the system?

This probably should depend on MACH_LOONGSON64.

Hi Jonas,

Thanks for your reply and suggestion.

With the current patch, on the MIPS architecture, the DMI option is
default y only if MACH_LOONGSON64 is set, otherwise it is not set.
When enable DMI manually on the MIPS platform which is not LOONGSON64,
the SMBIOS_ENTRY_POINT_SCAN_START is 0xF0000, dmi_early_remap() will
return NULL and goto err to print "DMI not present or invalid."

static void __init dmi_scan_machine(void)
{
...
         p = dmi_early_remap(SMBIOS_ENTRY_POINT_SCAN_START, 0x10000);
         if (p == NULL)
             goto error;
...
  error:
     pr_info("DMI not present or invalid.\n");
}

It seems harmless and the system can boot successful. However, in order
to avoid the unknown risks on the mips platform which is not LOONGSON64,
I think it is better to depend on MACH_LOONGSON64.

config DMI
     bool "Enable DMI scanning"
     depends on MACH_LOONGSON64
     select DMI_SCAN_MACHINE_NON_EFI_FALLBACK
     default y

If other mips platform also needs this DMI feature in the future,
the "depends on" conditon can be modified.

I will do it in the v3 patch.


Thanks,


Tiezhu Yang

Hi Jean,


Thanks very much for your review.


As described in another mail [1] by MIPS maintainer Paul Burton:

"So if unmerged arch/mips/ patches are holding you up, ping me, but
preferrably make sure code being added actually belongs under arch/mips/
first."

I think it is better to split it into the following two patches?
[PATCH v3 1/2] firmware: dmi: Add macro SMBIOS_ENTRY_POINT_SCAN_START
[PATCH v3 2/2] MIPS: Add support for Desktop Management Interface (DMI)


I will send v3 patch as soon as possible.


Thanks,


Tiezhu Yang

Hi Tiezhu,

That way will break bisect. In this case, I think the patch should still go through MIPS
tree after grab review or ack from DMI maintainer.

There is a grey margin for tree-wide patches, we should discuss how to deal with them case by
case, for the email you mentioned, the main focus is platform driver. 

Thanks.

Hi Jiaxun,


Sorry for the late reply.

I just saw your email a moment ago, and already sent the split v3 patch.

https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1189713/

https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1189714/

Let us wait and hear the opinion of Paul.


Hi Paul,

How do you think this case? One patch or two patches?

If one patch is better, I will send a v4 patch to make MIPS DMI config

depend on MACH_LOONGSON64.


Hi Jean,

Please do not merge the following patch until  we hear the opinion of Paul:

[PATCH v3,1/2] firmware: dmi: Add macro SMBIOS_ENTRY_POINT_SCAN_START

https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1189713/


Thanks,


Tiezhu Yang

Are you sure? As far as I can see, each patch builds individually. The
dmi patch is a no-op alone. The mips patch will not work alone,
obviously, however according to Tiezhu dmi_scan_machine() will fail
with a harmless error message if the base address is 0xF0000. If that's
correct then it's not breaking bisect.

Sorry, I even forgot that it's my modification :-)
Just don't want to trouble maintainers so much.
