Revision 1.2.0
--------------
This version includes the following new or updated modules:
#. Merged common.secureboot.keys module into common.secureboot.variables
module
#. Updated tools.secureboot.te module to be able to test PE/TE issue on
Linux or UEFI shell
#. Updated tools.smm.smm_ptr module
This version includes the following updates:
#. Added the *controls* abstraction. Modules are encouraged to use
``get_control`` and ``set_control`` when interacting with platform
registers. This permits greater flexibility in case the register that
controls a given feature or configuration changes between platform
generations. The controls are defined in the platform XML file. At this
time, only a small number of controls are defined. We plan to move
existing modules over to this new mechanism.
#. Added XML Schema for the XML configuration files
#. Support for reading, writing, and listing UEFI variables from the
UEFI Shell environment has been added.
#. Added support for decompression while SPI flash parsing via
``decode`` or ``uefi decode`` commands in Linux
#. Added basic ACPI table parsing to HAL (RSDP, RSDT/XSDT, APIC, DMAR)
#. Added UEFI tables searching and parsing to HAL (EFI system table,
runtime services table, boot services table, DXE services table, EFI
configuration table)
#. Added DIMM Serial Presence Detect (SPD) ROM dumping and parsing to
HAL
#. Added ``uefi s3bootscript`` command parsing the S3 boot script to
chipsec_util.py
#. Added virtual-to-physical address translation function to
Linux/EFI/Windows helpers
#. Added support of server platforms (Haswell server and Ivy Town) to
chipset.py
This version has the following known issues:
#. Decompression of images in SPI flash parsing is not available in UEFI
shell.
#. When calling alloc_phys_mem, the argument to set maximum physical
address (max_pa) for allocation is ignored on linux. A message will be
printed in dmesg if the allocation is above the max_pa that is passed
in, but the call will return anyway.
#. UEFI Shell environment does not support ``cpuid`` or
``get_thread_count``. There are functions that simply warn that they are
not supported.
#. Size of PCIEXBAR (MMCFG) is calculated incorrectly
