Subject: DMI information from a kernel module?
Date: Wed, 6 May 2009 18:44:08 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20090506T182838-226@post.gmane.org> (raw)
I am using kernel version 2.6.16.46.
I saw some code regarding dmi decoding in the kernel
source tree - arch/i386/kernel/dmi_scan.c. I believe
dmi_scan_machine is done early in the boot process
using bt_ioremap, dmi_alloc etc. Is it the case,
and if yes, is there a way to get a hold of the
stored information (via functions like dmi_get_system_info)
from a dynamically loaded kernel module?
