Name of Document Author/Supplier: Author: Pat Bredenberg 1.3 Date of This Document: 25 August, 2009 4. Technical Description Summary ======= pmtools[1] provides utilities to access, extract, and convert ACPI power management tables to a human readable format. This allows the user to directly obtain these tables to view what ACPI information is presented to the kernel by the BIOS. The tables provide an amalgamation of information about a given platform. For example, the kernel uses this data (when possible) to define a platform's NUMA configuration by making use of the SRAT (System Resource Affinity Table) and the SLIT (System Locality Information Table). pmtools 20071116 will be integrated into the SFW consolidation as part of this proposal, and will be installed as SUNWpmtools. This project requests a minor release binding. Note: pmtools is architecture specific. Only i386 packages will be delivered.

None of the commands seem to use this name. There are many other things that might eventually be included in a collection of "pm tools", including some we already have (powertop comes to mind), and some that we will want for SPARC as well. It seems a shame to burn the name for such a small specific thing, when it is really an ACPI-specific set of commands.

Some unix distros use pmtools some use acpidump as the package name. http://packages.gentoo.org/package/sys-power/pmtools http://www.opencsw.org/packages.php/acpidump http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/acpidump ccing Aubrey Li, the upstream maintainer, who Pat was been working with.

Exactly what privileges do these commands need to run with to gather the information they need. "Primary Administrator" should never be documented in a man page.

If > the command really needs all privileges because that is what the device > node requires then that is what we document. A number of questions have been posed so I'll address them here. Aubrey, if I get something wrong, please feel free to correct me. "Is it really necessary to use the "pmtools" name?" Nope. In fact, I had originally named it "SUNWacpidump" but over the course of code reviews and discussions with the SFW community it was renamed to "SUNWpmtools." I'm indifferent to the name, so changing it is no big deal to me. "Man pages in the case directory indicate that Primary Administrator (root) is required to run these commands. Why?" Since this is my first attempt at writing man pages and delivering anything into Solaris, I begged, borrowed, and stole from whatever resources I could find. The "Primary Administrator" moniker is likely an artifact from this process. I can change that to something more appropriate, or just remove it altogether. "...but perhaps RBAC can be used to make these commands available to anyone? (Or perhaps the underlying device node can be provided in "safe, read-only" type of mode?)" The utility access /dev/xsvc, which is owned by root. Instead of specifying the command must be run as root, I could change it to something along the lines of, "PRIV_FILE_DAC_READ privileges are required to run this command." Would that suffice? "Primary Administrator" should never be documented in a man page." I pulled that from the man page for powertop(1M). It sounds like that was not appropriate for these utilities.

Seriously ? Is there no other way to get this ? If that is the case then I have some very serious concerns that this case raises. Some of the security related but more about the stablity of the interfaces this case is using to get the data if it is reading memory directly. Surely we have a better way to get this data, and ideally given it is monitoring data we don't want such massive amount of privilege to read it. Then again maybe this is in the same category as iasl which (ab)uses /dev/xsvc for a similar purpose. -- Darren J Moffat From randy.fishel@sun.com Wed Aug 26 11:07:48 2009 Received: from sunmail4.singapore.sun.com (sunmail4.Singapore.Sun.COM [129.158.71.19]) by sac.sfbay.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id n7QI7lix017999 for ; Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:07:47 -0700 (PDT) Received: from nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com (nwk-avmta-2.SFBay.Sun.COM [129.145.155.6]) by sunmail4.singapore.sun.com (8.13.4+Sun/8.13.3/ENSMAIL,v2.2) with ESMTP id n7QI7VnQ019485; Thu, 27 Aug 2009 02:07:39 +0800 (SGT) Received: from pmxchannel-daemon.nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com by nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) id <0KOZ00K0NX0NVX00@nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com>; Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:07:35 -0700 (PDT) Received: from grimmy.eng.sun.com ([129.146.108.114]) by nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)) with ESMTP id <0KOZ00D45X0NWD90@nwk-avmta-2.sfbay.sun.com>; Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:07:35 -0700 (PDT) Received: from grimmy.eng.sun.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by grimmy.eng.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8) with ESMTP id n7QHx7Qi010061; Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:59:07 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (randyf@localhost) by grimmy.eng.sun.com (8.13.8+Sun/8.13.8/Submit) with ESMTP id n7QHx7IV010057; Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:59:07 -0700 (PDT) Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:59:07 -0700 (PDT) From: Randy Fishel Subject: Re: pmtools [PSARC/2009/458 FastTrack timeout 09/01/2009] In-reply-to: <4A956A58.2060500@Sun.COM> X-X-Sender: randyf@grimmy To: Darren J Moffat Cc: Randy Fishel , "Garrett D'Amore" , James Walker , PSARC-ext@sun.com, Patrick.Bredenberg@sun.com, aubrey@opensolaris.org Message-id: MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT X-PMX-Version: 5.4.1.325704 References: <200908252239.n7PMdsrs008658@sac.sfbay.sun.com> <4A954B4E.1030306@sun.com> <4A9556F5.5020805@Sun.COM> <4A956A58.2060500@Sun.COM> X-Authentication-warning: grimmy.eng.sun.com: randyf owned process doing -bs User-Agent: Alpine 1.10 (GSO 962 2008-03-14) Status: RO Content-Length: 1222 > > > > > > > I believe that the primary reason for privilege is that it extracts the > > tables via /dev/mem. > > Seriously ?

Pretty much. These tools will primarily be used for debugging, so I see less of an issue.

Would that suffice? Yes that is sufficient, please ensure though that the man page does say that it needs this because of use of /dev/xsvc.
