Annotated Snippet
What: /sys/firmware/efi/fw_vendor
Date: December 2013
Contact: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com>
Description: It shows the physical address of firmware vendor field in the
EFI system table.
Users: Kexec
What: /sys/firmware/efi/runtime
Date: December 2013
Contact: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com>
Description: It shows the physical address of runtime service table entry in
the EFI system table.
Users: Kexec
What: /sys/firmware/efi/config_table
Date: December 2013
Contact: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com>
Description: It shows the physical address of config table entry in the EFI
system table.
Users: Kexec
What: /sys/firmware/efi/systab
Date: April 2005
Contact: linux-efi@vger.kernel.org
Description: Displays the physical addresses of all EFI Configuration
Tables found via the EFI System Table. The order in
which the tables are printed forms an ABI and newer
versions are always printed first, i.e. ACPI20 comes
before ACPI.
Users: dmidecode
What: /sys/firmware/efi/tables/rci2
Date: July 2019
Contact: Narendra K <Narendra.K@dell.com>, linux-bugs@dell.com
Description: Displays the content of the Runtime Configuration Interface
Table version 2 on Dell EMC PowerEdge systems in binary format
Users: It is used by Dell EMC OpenManage Server Administrator tool to
populate BIOS setup page.
What: /sys/firmware/efi/ovmf_debug_log
Date: July 2025
Contact: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com>, linux-efi@vger.kernel.org
Description: Displays the content of the OVMF debug log buffer. The file is
only present in case the firmware supports logging to a memory
buffer.
Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
