Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

This patch introduces the Google Vital Product Data driver. This driver reads Vital Product Data from coreboot tables and then creates the corresponding sysfs entries under /sys/firmware/vpd to provide easy access for userspace programs (does not require flashrom). The sysfs is structured as follow: /sys/firmware/vpd |-- ro | |-- key1 | `-- key2 |-- ro_raw |-- rw | `-- key1 `-- rw_raw Where ro_raw and rw_raw contain the raw VPD partition. The files under ro and rw correspond to the key name in the VPD and the the file content is the value for the key. Signed-off-by:Wei-Ning Huang <wnhuang@google.com> Signed-off-by:
