There is no type field, but the value can be something else than u32. See here for sample properties: https://gist.github.com/l1k/d58ff1e24976118d24f2bf550253a507 E.g. the "ThunderboltDROM" property is a raw 256 byte array which is consumed by thunderbolt.ko. It's up to the drivers to make sense of the properties and assume a certain type. > Deterministic type of property values is required to avoid union > aliasing in the code. > > Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko <[email protected]> > --- > > - the union aliasing fix for built-in device properties will be sent during > next cycle, though I can share through one of my temporary branches if needed Sharing that might be helpful in understanding what you're trying to fix, right now I'm clueless, sorry. :) Thanks, Lukas > > drivers/firmware/efi/apple-properties.c | 13 ++++++++----- > 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/firmware/efi/apple-properties.c > b/drivers/firmware/efi/apple-properties.c > index b9602e0d7b50..a4847bcd26be 100644 > --- a/drivers/firmware/efi/apple-properties.c > +++ b/drivers/firmware/efi/apple-properties.c > @@ -40,8 +40,9 @@ struct dev_header { > u32 prop_count; > struct efi_dev_path path[0]; > /* > - * followed by key/value pairs, each key and value preceded by u32 len, > - * len includes itself, value may be empty (in which case its len is 4) > + * Followed by key/value pairs, each key and value preceded by u32 len, > + * len includes itself, value may be empty (in which case its len is 4). > + * REVISIT: Non-empty values have one or more u32 items. > */ > }; > > @@ -92,16 +93,18 @@ static void __init unmarshal_key_value_pairs(struct > dev_header *dev_header, > ucs2_as_utf8(key, ptr + sizeof(key_len), > key_len - sizeof(key_len)); > > + /* For now only 32-bit values are supported */ > entry[i].name = key; > entry[i].length = val_len - sizeof(val_len); > entry[i].is_array = !!entry[i].length; > - entry[i].pointer.raw_data = ptr + key_len + sizeof(val_len); > + entry[i].pointer.u32_data = ptr + key_len + sizeof(val_len); > > if (dump_properties) { > dev_info(dev, "property: %s\n", entry[i].name); > print_hex_dump(KERN_INFO, pr_fmt(), DUMP_PREFIX_OFFSET, > - 16, 1, entry[i].pointer.raw_data, > - entry[i].length, true); > + 16, 4, > + entry[i].pointer.u32_data, > entry[i].length, > + true); > } > > ptr += key_len + val_len; > -- > 2.16.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-efi" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
