From e561bc45920aade3f8a5aad9058a00e750af1345 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Waychison Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2011 17:39:25 -0700 Subject: driver: Google Memory Console This patch introduces the 'memconsole' driver. Our firmware gives us access to an in-memory log of the firmware's output. This gives us visibility in a data-center of headless machines as to what the firmware is doing. The memory console is found by the driver by finding a header block in the EBDA. The buffer is then copied out, and is exported to userland in the file /sys/firmware/log.
