Author: hailfinger Date: Tue Feb 2 12:09:03 2010 New Revision: 889 URL: http://flashrom.org/trac/coreboot/changeset/889
Log: Create a physical memory mapping function which requests cached readonly memory. This should take care of picky Linux kernels which do not allow uncached mappings to cached areas. Handle mapping failure gracefully (no forced exit()) if the caller specifies it.
Such cached areas which can handle mapping failure are DMI tables and coreboot tables. On failure we just ignore those tables. That is not perfect, but a lot better than aborting flashrom due to an error in nonessential functionality.
This should fix flashrom on a sizable number of machines where it currently aborts early.
Yes, I could have exploited a Linux kernel bug to "solve" this, but relying on such bugs is not exactly the best idea.
