Firmware Test Suite

[QUERY] About FWTS efi_runtime module

Asked by G Edhaya Chandran

Hi Ivan,

   In the FWTS source we have the following:
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/hwe/fwts.git/tree/efi_runtime

Does this build into a kernel module?
If yes, how to build and include this with FWTS?
If done, will it increase the coverage or enable more tests of UEFI Runtime?

OR

is efi_runtime already included in the default build of FWTS?

With Warm Regards,
Edhay

The efi_runtime is a DKMS module serves as an interface exporter for EFI functionality required by the Firmware Test Suite (fwts) in older kernels, specifically those prior to version 4.9. With the introduction of kernel version 4.9 and beyond, the efi_test kernel driver (located at drivers/firmware/efi/test/efi_test.c) supersedes the role of efi_runtime.
