62c204dd - fs: Make efivarfs a pseudo filesystem, built by default with EFI

Thu, 18 Dec 2014 17:50:49 +0000

fs: Make efivarfs a pseudo filesystem, built by default with EFIefivars is currently enabled under MISC_FILESYSTEMS, which is decribedas "such as filesystems that came from other operating systems".In reality, it is a pseudo filesystem, providing access to the kernelUEFI variable interface.Since this is the preferred interface for accessing UEFI variables, overthe legacy efivars interface, also build it by default as a module ifCONFIG_EFI.Signed-off-by: Leif Lindholm Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming List of files: /linux-6.15/fs/efivarfs/Kconfig

a9499fa7 - efi: split efisubsystem from efivars

Fri, 08 Feb 2013 15:37:06 +0000

efi: split efisubsystem from efivarsThis registers /sys/firmware/efi/{,systab,efivars/} whenever EFI is enabledand the system is booted with EFI.This allows *) userspace to check for the existence of /sys/firmware/efi as a way to determine whether or it is running on an EFI system. *) 'mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars' without manually loading any modules.[ Also, move the efivar API into vars.c and unconditionally compile it. This allows us to move efivars.c, which now only contains the sysfs variable code, into the firmware/efi directory. Note that the efivars.c filename is kept to maintain backwards compatability with the old efivars.ko module. With this patch it is now possible for efivarfs to be built without CONFIG_EFI_VARS - Matt ]Cc: Seiji Aguchi Cc: Tony Luck Cc: Mike Waychison Cc: Kay Sievers Cc: Jeremy Kerr Cc: Matthew Garrett Cc: Chun-Yi Lee Cc: Andy Whitcroft Cc: Tobias Powalowski Signed-off-by: Tom Gundersen Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming List of files: /linux-6.15/fs/efivarfs/Kconfig

d68772b7 - efivarfs: Move to fs/efivarfs

Fri, 08 Feb 2013 16:27:24 +0000

efivarfs: Move to fs/efivarfsNow that efivarfs uses the efivar API, move it out of efivars.c andinto fs/efivarfs where it belongs. This move will eventually allow usto enable the efivarfs code without having to also enableCONFIG_EFI_VARS built, and vice versa.Furthermore, things like, mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivarswill now work if efivarfs is built as a module without requiring theuse of MODULE_ALIAS(), which would have been necessary when theefivarfs code was part of efivars.c.Cc: Matthew Garrett Cc: Jeremy Kerr Reviewed-by: Tom Gundersen Tested-by: Tom Gundersen Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming List of files: /linux-6.15/fs/efivarfs/Kconfig
