Subject: RFC: Output ACPI info via sysfs
Date: Thu, 11 May 2006 10:57:34 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <446350DE.9010900@redhat.com> (raw)
Currently, after booting a system there is no way to tell what hardware
is currently in the system. The current output from sysfs only
indicates what knowledge the kernel has of the system (ie, is limited by
NR_CPUS, etc.). However, during ACPI initialization a lot of data is
output to the console about the precise number of CPUs, lapics, etc.
Having this information is useful to anyone (or any application)
interested in querying the real system information.
Any thoughts, concerns? (Code not yet generated -- just looking for an
okay on the RFC)
