Hi, Today smbios table is generated at boot time, as a static blob in reserved memory region. Some of the info becomes stale following hot add/remove events which becomes common nowadays.
I wonder if there is any alternative, or some discussions/plan in progress to solve this problem? Any feedbacks/pointers are appreciated. One idea is to make sysfs (/sys/firmware/dmi/) to be the source of truth for all kernel and user space code which need to consume smbios data. It looks like dmidecode hard codes the memory region base 0xF0000, why don’t it pick up from /sys/firmware/dmi? Thank you, Jonathan _______________________________________________ https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/dmidecode-devel
