HP BIOS Configuration driver purpose is to provide a driver supporting
the latest sysfs class firmware attributes framework allowing the user
to change BIOS settings and security solutions on HP Inc.’s commercial
notebooks.

Many features of HP Commercial notebooks can be managed using Windows
Management Instrumentation (WMI). WMI is an implementation of Web-Based
Enterprise Management (WBEM) that provides a standards-based interface
for changing and monitoring system settings. HP BIOSCFG driver provides
a native Linux solution and the exposed features facilitates the
migration to Linux environments.

The Linux security features to be provided in hp-bioscfg driver enables
managing the BIOS settings and security solutions via sysfs, a virtual
filesystem that can be used by user-mode applications. The new
documentation cover HP-specific firmware sysfs attributes such Secure
Platform Management and Sure Start. Each section provides security
feature description and identifies sysfs directories and files exposed
by the driver.

Many HP Commercial notebooks include a feature called Secure Platform
Management (SPM), which replaces older password-based BIOS settings
management with public key cryptography. PC secure product management
begins when a target system is provisioned with cryptographic keys
that are used to ensure the integrity of communications between system
management utilities and the BIOS.

HP Commercial notebooks have several BIOS settings that control its
behaviour and capabilities, many of which are related to security.
To prevent unauthorized changes to these settings, the system can
be configured to use a cryptographic signature-based authorization
string that the BIOS will use to verify authorization to modify the
setting.

Linux Security components are under development and not published yet.
The only linux component is the driver (hp bioscfg) at this time.
Other published security components are under Windows.

Hi,

the instance count of a WMI object is already known to the WMI driver core,
see drivers/platform/x86/wmi.c (struct guid_block). Unfortunately, there is currently
no way for WMI drivers to access this information.
Maybe you can implement such a function instead?

Currently, this driver will no get automatically loaded on supported hardware,
something which would be quite beneficial for users to have.
Since the HP_WMI_BIOS_GUID is already handled by the hp-wmi driver, maybe this
driver (which also already implements a function similar to hp_wmi_perform_query())
could register a platform device which is then used by this driver? This together
with MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() would allow for automatically loading the module on supported hardware.

Both drivers can already co-exist since the old hp-wmi driver uses the old
wmi kernel functions and is not a "wmi_driver" so there is no need for
a platform_device for this driver to bind to since the wmi_device is
still free for it to bind to.

This does indeed need a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() statement for
the bios_attr_pass_interface_id_table[] id-table. Note only for that
table, because the HP_WMI_BIOS_GUID is present on models which do
not support this and we don't want the module to auto-load there.

Regards,

Hans

I am considering adding a check for the  HP_WMI_SET_BIOS_SETTING_GUID
and HP_WMI_BIOS_GUID during the initialization process.
The driver will report a message If HP_WMI_SET_BIOS_SETTING_GUID is
found or not.
If HP_WMI_SET_BIOS_SETTING_GUID does not exist, the driver cannot
change the BIOS settings.

Right, adding a check for  HP_WMI_BIOS_GUID to bioscfg_init()
sounds like a good idea.

That + add a a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() statement to
the bios_attr_pass_interface_id_table[] id-table.
