global: Convert simple_strtoul() with hex to hextoul()

2021-08-02T17:32:14+00:00

It is a pain to have to specify the value 16 in each call. Add a new
hextoul() function and update the code to use it.

Add a proper comment to simple_strtoul() while we are here.

efi_loader: Replace config option for initrd loading

2021-03-25T19:14:26+00:00

Up to now we install EFI_LOAD_FILE2_PROTOCOL to load an initrd
unconditionally. Although we correctly return various EFI exit codes
depending on the file status (i.e EFI_NO_MEDIA, EFI_NOT_FOUND etc), the
kernel loader, only falls back to the cmdline interpreted initrd if the
protocol is not installed.

This creates a problem for EFI installers, since they won't be able to
load their own initrd and continue the installation. It also makes the
feature hard to use, since we can either have a single initrd or we have
to recompile u-boot if the filename changes.

So let's introduce a different logic that will decouple the initrd
path from the config option we currently have.
When defining a UEFI BootXXXX we can use the filepathlist and store
a file path pointing to our initrd. Specifically the EFI spec describes:

"The first element of the array is a device path that describes the device
and location of the Image for this load option. Other device paths may
optionally exist in the FilePathList, but their usage is OSV specific"

When the EFI application is launched through the bootmgr, we'll try to
interpret the extra device path. If that points to a file that exists on
our disk, we'll now install the load_file2 and the efi-stub will be able
to use it.

This opens up another path using U-Boot and defines a new boot flow.
A user will be able to control the kernel/initrd pairs without explicit
cmdline args or GRUB.

image: Adjust the workings of fit_check_format()

2021-02-16T03:31:52+00:00

At present this function does not accept a size for the FIT. This means
that it must be read from the FIT itself, introducing potential security
risk. Update the function to include a size parameter, which can be
invalid, in which case fit_check_format() calculates it.

For now no callers pass the size, but this can be updated later.

Also adjust the return value to an error code so that all the different
types of problems can be distinguished by the user.

common: Drop asm/global_data.h from common header

2021-02-02T20:33:42+00:00

Move this out of the common header and include it only where needed.  In
a number of cases this requires adding "struct udevice;" to avoid adding
another large header or in other cases replacing / adding missing header
files that had been pulled in, very indirectly.   Finally, we have a few
cases where we did not need to include  at all, so
remove that include.

efi_loader: switch to non-secure mode later

2021-01-29T19:22:40+00:00

Some ARMv7 boards using PSCI require to be in secure-mode when booted via
'bootz' or 'bootm'. During distro-boot 'bootefi bootmgr' is called to check
if booting via UEFI is possible.

With the change we change the switch from secure mode to non-secure mode is
moved from the UEFI subsystem setup to just before calling StartImage().

efi_loader: make the UEFI boot manager configurable

2021-01-20T07:09:34+00:00

Some boards are very tight on the binary size. Booting via UEFI is possible
without using the boot manager.

Provide a configuration option to make the boot manager available.

efi_loader: implement EFI_DT_FIXUP_PROTOCOL

2021-01-13T01:38:01+00:00

A boot manager like GRUB can use the protocol to

* apply U-Boot's fix-ups to the a device-tree
* let U-Boot make memory reservations according to the device-tree
* install the device-tree as a configuration table

efi_loader: setting boot device

2021-01-13T01:38:00+00:00

Up to now the bootefi command used the last file loaded to determine the
boot partition. This has led to errors when the fdt had been loaded from
another partition after the EFI binary.

Before setting the boot device from a loaded file check if it is a PE-COFF
image or a FIT image.

For a PE-COFF image remember address and size, boot device and path.

For a FIT image remember boot device and path.

If the PE-COFF image is overwritten by loading another file, forget it.

Do not allow to start an image via bootefi which is not the last loaded
PE-COFF image.

efi_loader: simplify running helloworld.efi

2021-01-13T01:38:00+00:00

Currently when executing 'bootefi hello' we copy helloworld.efi to the
address identified by environment variable loadaddr. This is unexected
behavior for a user. There is no need to copy helloworld.efi before
executing it after relocation.

Remove the copy action.

efi_loader: consider no-map property of reserved memory

2020-10-06T05:43:56+00:00

The device tree may contain a /reserved-memory node. The no-map property
of the sub-nodes signals if the memory may be accessed by the UEFI payload
or not.

In the EBBR specification (https://github.com/arm-software/ebbr) the
modeling of the reserved memory has been clarified.

If a reserved memory node in the device tree has the no-map property map,
create a EfiReservedMemoryType memory map entry else use
EfiBootServicesData.
