https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D255594 --- Comment #6 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> --- Is this resolved with: commit 24f398e7a153a05a7e94ae8dd623e2b6d28d94eb Author: Pavel Balaev <pavel.balaev@3mdeb.com> Date: Thu Jul 1 19:29:36 2021 +0300 Add efitable(8), a userspace tool to fetch and parse EFI tables Only ESRT and PROP tables are handled at the moment.

In particular, right now interface only works for the tables which can be minimally parsed by kernel to determine the table size. Then, userspace= can query the table size, after that it provides a buffer of needed size and kernel copies out just table to userspace. Main advantage is that user no longer need to be able to read /dev/mem, the disadvantage is the need to have minimal parsers aware of the table types. Right now the parsers are implemented for ESRT and PROP tables. Future extension of the present interface might be a return of only the table physical address, in case kernel does not have suitable parser yet. Then, a privileged user could read the table from /dev/mem. This extension, which logically equivalent to the old (non-worked) EFIIOC_GET_TABLE variant, is not implemented until needed.
