This happens on IA-64 because there's + no BIOS. + * Makefile, README: Do not build biosdecode, ownership and + vpddecode on IA-64, as IA-64 systems have no BIOS. This was + quite tricky to keep both GNU make and BSD make happy, but it + seems that I finally succeeded. + +2007-02-13 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + Update to support SMBIOS specification version 2.5, second round. + + * dmidecode.c: Decode new processor characteristics (multi-core, + multi-thread, 64-bit) (DMI type 4). + * dmidecode.c: Decode slot ID of AGP 8x and PCI Express slots (DMI + type 9). + + * dmidecode.c: Fix the mask of 3 bitfield tests. This will let + the memory type of some systems be properly reported as SDRAM. + * dmidecode.c: Fix the AMD processors signature decoding. + * README: Minor edits. + +2007-02-12 Jens Elkner <elkner@linofee.org> + + Update to support SMBIOS specification version 2.5, first round. + + * dmidecode.c: Add chassis types "CompactPCI" and "AdvancedTCA" + (DMI type 3). + * dmidecode.c: Add processor types "Turion 64", + "Dual-Core Opteron", "Athlon 64 X2", "Celeron D", "Pentium D" + and "Pentium EE" (DMI type 4). + * dmidecode.c: Add processor upgrade types "Socket mPGA604", + "Socket LGA771" and "Socket LGA775" (DMI type 4). + * dmidecode.c: Add connector type "SAS/SATA Plug Receptacle" and + port types "SATA" and "SAS" (DMI type 8). + * dmidecode.c: Add on-board device types "PATA Controller", + "SATA Controller" and "SAS Controller" (DMI type 10). + * dmidecode.c: Add memory device form factor "FB-DIMM" and memory + device type "DDR2 FB-DIMM" (DMI type 17). + +2007-02-12 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * dmioem.c: Share the code between HP-specific types 209 and 221. + Both types are really the same, only the title is different. + * dmioem.c: Make the HP-specific types 209 and 221 output a bit + more verbose. + * dmidecode.c: Let --type decode OEM-specific entries when + possible. + * dmidecode.c: Include decoded OEM-specific entries in quiet mode + output (--quiet). + * dmidecode.c: Do not complain about truncated entries in quiet + mode. + * dmioem.c: Decode HP-specific type 204 entries in a safer way: + check the length before decoding, and don't assume that all + strings are provided in the same order as they are used. + + Update to support Intel AP-485 (CPUID) revision 31 (was 28). + + * dmidecode.c: New CPUID flag IA64. + * dmidecode.c: Fix the decoding of Intel extended family. + +2007-02-11 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * dmioem.c, dmioem.h: New. + * Makefile, dmidecode.c, dmidecode.h, dmioem.c, dmioem.h: Move the + decoding of OEM-specific entries to a separate source file. + * dmidecode.c: DMI type 38 is tested by now. + * dmioem.c: The PCI function is typically represented as a single + digit. + * Makefile, dmiopt.c, vpdopt.c, util.h: Define an ARRAY_SIZE macro + which computes the size of a static array, and use it where + relevant. + +2007-02-11 John Cagle <jcagle@kernel.org> + + * dmidecode.c: Add support for 3 HP-specific entries: system/rack + locator (type 204), NIC MAC information (type 209) and NIC iSCSI + MAC information (type 221). + +2007-01-14 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * vpddecode.c: Fix a rare warning. + * biosdecode.c: Add support for the FJKEYINF entry point, which + contains data related to the "application panel" on Fujitsu + laptops. + +2006-05-23 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * dmidecode.c: Fix a recently introduced compilation error with + non-C99 compilers. + * dmidecode.c: Check for short entries (less than 4 bytes), stop + with an error when one is encountered. + +2006-05-13 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * vpddecode.c, README: Drop the product name lookup table. It + was reported to be unreliable too many times, and was also + difficult to maintain. + +2006-05-10 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * dmidecode.c: Don't cast from u8* to dmi_header*, else + architectures which do not support unaligned memory accesses + may break. Instead, copy the members individually. That's a + bit slower, but that's also safer and we only need to do it + once per DMI entry, so it's not time critical. So far, we + were using a trick to later work around the unaligned memory + access, but the compiler would still warn about the risk, + which is always confusing. + * config.h, types.h, README: Automatically enable the unaligned + memory access workaround on ia64. + * types.h: Inline U64. It makes sense per se and also lets us + get rid of a warning about U64 being unused. + * dmidecode.c: Detect EFI at run-time rather than compilation- + time. Based on an original patch from Matthew Garrett. This + will make x86 binaries work for both PC systems with BIOS and + Macintosh systems with EFI. Also prevent a possible, though + unlikely, NULL-pointer dereference in the EFI code. + +2006-02-25 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * dmidecode.c: Fix typo reported by David Wilson (DMI case 3). + +2006-02-04 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * vpddecode.c: Update lookup table from revision 2006-01-31 of IBM + reference document (add product ID "7B"). + * version.h: Set version to 2.8. + +2006-01-21 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * vpddecode.c: The mysterious last character of xSeries records + may be a BIOS revision. Display it as such when present and + non zero, and ask users to report. + * vpddecode.c: Adjust an error message. + * dmidecode.8: Update the sample entry to match the new output + format. + * README: Improve the IA-64 specific section and the vpddecode + tool description. + * vpdopt.h: Add missing system header file include. + +2006-01-20 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * vpddecode.c: Assume a constant length of 12 characters for the + "Default Flash Image File Name" entry. The 13th character never + contained anything useful, so it probably has a different + meaning (unknown for now). + +2005-12-24 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * vpddecode.c: Scan for VPD records on 4-byte boundaries instead + of 16-byte boundaries. This is needed for some eServer xSeries + 206. Still emit a warning if a VPD record is found not on a + 16-byte boundary. + +2005-10-26 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * vpddecode.c: Add product ID "NR". Reported by Klaus Muth. + * vpddecode.c: Update lookup table from revision 2005-10-06 of IBM + reference document (add product IDs "77" and "78"). + +2005-10-05 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + Update to support IPMI specification version 2.0 (was 1.5). + + * dmidecode.c: Support IPMI interface type SSIF. Original patch + by Garry Belka. + +2005-10-04 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * vpdopt.c: Display the list of all valid string keywords when + --string is used without an argument. + * vpddecode.8: Document the new -s, --string option. + * dmidecode.8: List the four new string keywords. + * vpddecode.c: Keep quiet when --string is used, even when no VPD + record is found. + +2005-10-03 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * biosdecode.c: Fix a potential (but highly improbable) buffer + overrun in the VPD record decoding. + * biosdecode.c: Change the xSeries checksumming method to + accomodate a strange xSeries 440 VPD record, as was done in + vpddecode.c some weeks ago. Do not display the default flash + image file name anymore, it's not so useful and the field length + is now uncertain. + * vpdopt.c, vpdopt.h: New. + * Makefile, vpddecode.c, vpdopt.c, vpdopt.h: Move the command line + handling of vpddecode to a separate source file. + * vpddecode.c, vpdopt.c, vpdopt.h: Add option -s, --string. It + prints one selected VPD string instead of the regular output. + +2005-09-24 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * dmiopt.c: Fix incorrect header include. The strcasecmp function + is defined in <strings.h>, not <string.h>. Reported by Petter + Reinholdtsen. + +2005-09-14 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * dmidecode.h: New. + * dmidecode.c, dmidecode.h, Makefile: Export four specific + decoding functions, make them suitable for external call. + * dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h, Makefile: Make it possible + for --string to print decoded binary data rather than only + DMI strings. Add four such string keywords. + * dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: Modify the opt structure + to handle the string option more efficiently. + +2005-09-13 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * vpddecode.c: Slightly change the xSeries checksumming method to + accomodate a strange xSeries 440 VPD record. Also tweak the + decoding of the "Default Flash Image File Name" entry. Thanks + to Torsten Seemann for providing a test VPD record. + +2005-09-05 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * Makefile: Use -Wundef. + +2005-08-31 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * dmidecode.c: Drop trailing dot from handle description line. + +2005-08-29 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * dmidecode.c: Reword a comment about CPUID. + * dmidecode.c: Claim to support revision 28 of Intel AP-485 + (CPUID). No relevant change since revision 27. + +2005-08-25 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * vpddecode.c: Add product ID "VI". Reported by Torsten Seemann. + * vpddecode.c: Update lookup table from revision 2005-06-24 of IBM + reference document (add product IDs "1U", "1X", "70", "74", "75" + and "76", update product ID "1Y"). + * dmiopt.c: Complain about unknown options again. + * biosdecode.c, ownership.c, vpddecode.c: getopt_long() will never + return ':'. + +2005-08-04 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * README: Manual pages document the command line interface. + A discussion list exists for developers. Mmap is used on + most systems, not just Linux. + * version.h: Set version to 2.7. + +2005-08-02 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * dmiopt.c, dmidecode.8: Options --dump and --quiet are mutually + exclusive. + +2005-06-23 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * dmiopt.c, dmidecode.8: Options --dump and --string are mutually + exclusive. + +2005-06-22 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * dmiopt.c: Display the list of all valid type or string keywords + when --type or --string, respectively, is used without an + argument or with an invalid one. + * dmidecode.8: Document the new -s, --string option. Update the + -t, --type option documentation. + * dmiopt.c, dmidecode.8: Add string keyword "bios-release-date", + the Linux kernel uses it. + * dmidecode.c, dmidecode.8: Fix typo ("Controler" becomes + "Controller"). + +2005-06-21 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * dmidecode.c, dmiopt.c, dmiopt.h: Add option -s, --string. It + prints one selected DMI string instead of the regular output. + +2005-06-18 Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> + + * dmidecode.c: Hide handle references and entries of unknown + type when --quiet is used. + * dmidecode.8: Document the new -q, --quiet option. + * dmidecode.c: Stop decoding at end of table entry when --quiet + is used.
