The idea is to load laptop drivers automatically (and other\ndrivers which cannot be autoloaded otherwise), based on the DMI system\nidentification information of the BIOS.\n\nRight now most distros manually try to load all available laptop\ndrivers on bootup in the hope that at least one of them loads\nsuccessfully. This patch does away with all that, and uses udev to\nautomatically load matching drivers on the right machines.\n\nBasically the patch just exports the DMI information that has been\nparsed by the kernel anyway to userspace via a sysfs device\n/sys/class/dmi/id and makes sure that proper modalias attributes are\navailable. Besides adding the \"modalias\" attribute it also adds\nattributes for a few other DMI fields which might be useful for\nwriting udev rules.\n\nThis patch is not an attempt to export the entire DMI/SMBIOS data to\nuserspace. We already have \"dmidecode\" which parses the complete DMI\ninfo from userspace. The purpose of this patch is machine model\nidentification and good udev integration.\n\nTo take advantage of DMI based module autoloading, a driver should\nexport one or more MODULE_ALIAS fields similar to these:\n\nMODULE_ALIAS(\"dmi:*:svnMICRO-STARINT\u0027LCO.,LTD:pnMS-1013:pvr0131*:cvnMICRO-STARINT\u0027LCO.,LTD:ct10:*\");\nMODULE_ALIAS(\"dmi:*:svnMicro-StarInternational:pnMS-1058:pvr0581:rvnMSI:rnMS-1058:*:ct10:*\");\nMODULE_ALIAS(\"dmi:*:svnMicro-StarInternational:pnMS-1412:*:rvnMSI:rnMS-1412:*:cvnMICRO-STARINT\u0027LCO.,LTD:ct10:*\");\nMODULE_ALIAS(\"dmi:*:svnNOTEBOOK:pnSAM2000:pvr0131*:cvnMICRO-STARINT\u0027LCO.,LTD:ct10:*\");\n\nThese lines are specific to my msi-laptop.c driver. They are basically\njust a concatenation of a few carefully selected DMI fields with all\npotentially bad characters stripped.\n\nBesides laptop drivers, modules like \"hdaps\", the i2c modules\nand the hwmon modules are good candidates for \"dmi:\" MODULE_ALIAS\nlines.\n\nBesides merely exporting the DMI data via sysfs the patch adds\nsupport for a few more DMI fields. Especially the CHASSIS fields are\nvery useful to identify different laptop modules. The patch also adds\nworking MODULE_ALIAS lines to my msi-laptop.c driver.\n\nI\u0027d like to thank Kay Sievers for helping me to clean up this patch\nfor posting it on lkml.\n\nPatch is against Linus\u0027 current GIT HEAD. Should probably apply to\nolder kernels as well without modification.\n\n\nSigned-off-by: Lennart Poettering \u003cmzxreary@0pointer.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Kay Sievers \u003ckay.sievers@vrfy.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman \u003cgregkh@suse.de\u003e\n\n\n\n" }, { "commit": "4f705ae3e94ffaafe8d35f71ff4d5c499bb06814", "tree": "c19d010668b5c21bc3d89b6be698612fefe23ca0", "parents": [ "026694920579590c73b5c56705d543568ed5ad41" ], "author": { "name": "Bjorn Helgaas", "email": "bjorn.helgaas@hp.com", "time": "Mon Apr 03 17:09:22 2006 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Greg Kroah-Hartman", "email": "gregkh@suse.de", "time": "Fri Apr 14 11:41:25 2006 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] DMI: move dmi_scan.c from arch/i386 to drivers/firmware/\n\ndmi_scan.c is arch-independent and is used by i386, x86_64, and ia64.\nCurrently all three arches compile it from arch/i386, which means that ia64\nand x86_64 depend on things in arch/i386 that they wouldn\u0027t otherwise care\nabout.\n\nThis is simply \"mv arch/i386/kernel/dmi_scan.c drivers/firmware/\" (removing\ntrailing whitespace) and the associated Makefile changes.
