Embodiments herein relate to assigning processors to a memory mapped configuration. The processors having access to different buses of a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) segment are quiesced. The quiesced processors are assigned a memory mapped configuration.

Assigning processors to memory mapped configuration

Examples disclosed herein relate to updating a commit list to indicate data to be written to a firmware interface (FI) variable repository. Examples include storing target data in a variable repository cache of system management memory of a computing device during a given SMM event, updating a commit list, during the given SMM event, to indicate that the target data is to be written to the FI variable repository, and ending the given SMM event without at least some portion of the target data being written to the FI variable repository during the given SMM event.

Updating a commit list to indicate data to be written to a firmware interface variable repository

A method and system for sharing platform data are described. The method for sharing platform data includes during a boot sequence of system firmware, accessing a first data structure tag associated with a resource accessible by the operating system. Also during the boot sequence of the system firmware, the method includes determining a memory address corresponding to platform specific data associated with the resource. During a boot time sequence of the system firmware, run time code is parsed. The method includes accessing a second tag that is visible to the operating system and associating it with the location of the platform specific data. This allows for the platform specific data to be consumed by an operating system during runtime in accordance with the industry common interfaces defined in ACPI.
