Since the UEFI 2.8A specification the UEFI enabled firmware provides a
configuration table EFI_RT_PROPERTIES_TABLE which indicates which runtime
services are enabled. The EFI stub reads this table and saves the value of
the field RuntimeServicesSupported internally.
The Firmware Test Suite requires the value to determine if UEFI runtime
services are correctly implemented.
With this patch an IOCTL call is provided to read the value of the field
RuntimeServicesSupported, e.g.
#define EFI_RUNTIME_GET_SUPPORTED_MASK \
_IOR('p', 0x0C, unsigned int)
unsigned int mask;
fd = open("/dev/efi_test", O_RDWR);
ret = ioctl(fd, EFI_RUNTIME_GET_SUPPORTED_MASK, &mask);

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
