2022-11-07	hw/smbios: add core_count2 to smbios table type 4	Julia Suvorova
	In order to use the increased number of cpus, we need to bring smbios tables in line with the SMBIOS 3.0 specification. This allows us to introduce core_count2 which acts as a duplicate of core_count if we have fewer cores than 256, and contains the actual core number per socket if we have more. core_enabled2 and thread_count2 fields work the same way.

2018-12-19	hw/smbios: Remove "smbios_ipmi.h"	Philippe Mathieu-Daudé
	This header only declare a single function: smbios_build_type_38_table(). We already have a header that declares such functions: "smbios_build.h". Move the declaration and remove the header.

2017-12-05	smbios: support setting OEM strings table	Daniel P. Berrange
	The cloud-init program currently allows fetching of its data by repurposing of the 'system' type 'serial' field. This is a clear abuse of the serial field that would clash with other valid usage a virt management app might have for that field. Fortunately the SMBIOS defines an "OEM Strings" table whose puporse is to allow exposing of arbitrary vendor specific strings to the operating system. This is perfect for use with cloud-init, or as a way to pass arguments to OS installers such as anaconda. This patch makes it easier to support this with QEMU. e.g. $QEMU -smbios type=11,value=Hello,value=World,value=Tricky,,value=test Which results in the guest seeing dmidecode data Handle 0x0E00, DMI type 11, 5 bytes OEM Strings String 1: Hello String 2: World String 3: Tricky,value=test It is suggested that any app wanting to make use of this OEM strings capability for accepting data from the host mgmt layer should use its name as a string prefix. e.g. to expose OEM strings targetting both cloud init and anaconda in parallel the mgmt app could set $QEMU -smbios type=11,value=cloud-init:ds=nocloud-net;s=http://10.10.0.1:8000/,\ value=anaconda:method=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/25/x86_64/os which would appear as Handle 0x0E00, DMI type 11, 5 bytes OEM Strings String 1: cloud-init:ds=nocloud-net;s=http://10.10.0.1:8000/ String 2: anaconda:method=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/25/x86_64/os Use of such string prefixes means the app won't have to care which string slot its data appears in.
