Subject: [PATCH] sysfs, acpi, tables: Set file size for each ACPI table

Currently, each of the ACPI tables exported from
/sys/firmware/acpi/tables is of zero size:

$ LANG=C ls -ld /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/*
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Nov 19 09:48 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/APIC
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Nov 19 09:48 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/BOOT
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Nov 19 14:25 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Nov 19 14:25 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/FACP
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Nov 19 14:25 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/FACS
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Nov 19 14:25 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MCFG
-r-------- 1 root root 0 Nov 19 14:25 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/SRAT
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Nov 19 09:48 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/dynamic/

due to which, user-land tools fail reading each table. For example:

$ acpidump -f /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/SRAT
Could not get input file size: /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/SRAT

To deal with the issue, this patch assigns size of each ACPI table to
the corresponding sysfs file.

$ LANG=C ls -hld /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/*
-r-------- 1 root root  94 Nov 19 16:45 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/APIC
-r-------- 1 root root  40 Nov 19 16:45 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/BOOT
-r-------- 1 root root 58K Nov 19 16:55 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT
-r-------- 1 root root 244 Nov 19 16:55 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/FACP
-r-------- 1 root root  64 Nov 19 16:55 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/FACS
-r-------- 1 root root  60 Nov 19 16:55 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MCFG
-r-------- 1 root root 168 Nov 19 16:45 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/SRAT
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root   0 Nov 19 16:55 /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/dynamic/

Then, user-land tools work well like:

$ acpidump -f /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/SRAT
SRAT @ 0x0000000000000000
