disk: part_dos: fix part_get_info_extended() function

2017-11-06T14:59:01+00:00

The check in part_get_info_extended() for a successful partition
searching misses a condition for extended partition. In case of
(ext_part_sector == 0), we should anyway mark the partition as found,
even if it's an extended partition, i.e. (is_extended(pt->sys_ind) == 0).
Otherwise, the extended partition (type 0x0f) will never be identified,
and the following recursive call to part_get_info_extended() will get a
wrong 'part_num' and 'which_part' parameter.  In the end, all those
partitions in extended table will not be identified.

Let's add the missing OR condition of (ext_part_sector == 0) for
is_extended() check to fix the problem.

The issue is discovered by running fastboot flash to an extended
partition on eMMC.

disk: part_dos: Use the original allocation scheme for the SPL case

2017-10-05T14:45:33+00:00

Since commit ff98cb90514d ("part: extract MBR signature from partitions")
SPL boot on i.MX6 starts to fail:

U-Boot SPL 2017.09-00221-g0d6ab32 (Oct 02 2017 - 15:13:19)
Trying to boot from MMC1
(keep in loop)

Use the original allocation scheme for the SPL case, so that MX6 boards
can boot again.

This is a temporary solution to avoid the boot regression.

part: extract MBR signature from partitions

2017-09-20T08:20:19+00:00

EFI client programs need the signature information from the partition
table to determine the disk a partition is on, so we need to fill that
in here.

EFI: find EFI system partition by legacy MBR partition type

2017-09-18T21:53:56+00:00

The UEFI spec allows an EFI system partition (ESP, with the bootloader or
kernel EFI apps on it) to reside on a disk using a "legacy" MBR
partitioning scheme.
But in contrast to actual legacy disks the ESP is not marked as
"bootable" using bit 7 in byte 0 of the legacy partition entry, but is
instead using partition *type* 0xef (in contrast to 0x0b or 0x0c for a
normal FAT partition). The EFI spec isn't 100% clear on this, but it even
seems to discourage the use of the bootable flag for ESPs.
Also it seems that some EFI implementations (EDK2?) even seem to ignore
partitions marked as bootable (probably since they believe they contain
legacy boot code).
The Debian installer [1] (*not* mini.iso), for instance, contains such an
MBR, where none of the two partitions are marked bootable, but the ESP
has clearly type 0xef.
Now U-Boot cannot find the ESP on such a disk (USB flash drive) and
fails to load the EFI grub and thus the installer.

Since it all boils down to the distro bootcmds eventually calling
"part list -bootable" to find potential boot partitions, it seems logical
to just add this "partition type is 0xef" condition to the is_bootable()
implementation.

This allows the bog standard arm64 Debian-testing installer to boot from
an USB pen drive on Allwinner A64 boards (Pine64, BananaPi-M64).
(Ubuntu and other distribution installers don't have a legacy MBR, so
U-Boot falls back to El Torito there).

SPL: add support to boot from a partition type

2017-02-17T19:15:14+00:00

the socfpga bootrom supports mmc booting from either a raw image
starting at 0x0, or from a partition of type 0xa2.  This patch
adds support for locating the boot image in the first type 0xa2
partition found.

Assigned a partition number of -1 will cause a search for a
partition of type CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION_TYPE
and use it to find the u-boot image

cmd, disk: convert CONFIG_PARTITION_UUIDS, CMD_PART and CMD_GPT

2017-01-28T13:48:03+00:00

We convert CONFIG_PARTITION_UUIDS to Kconfig first.  But in order to cleanly
update all of the config files we must also update CMD_PART and CMD_GPT to also
be in Kconfig in order to avoid complex logic elsewhere to update all of the
config files.

disk: part: refactor generic name creation for DOS and ISO

2016-10-02T00:04:56+00:00

In both DOS and ISO partition tables the same code to create partition name
like "hda1" was repeated.

Code moved to into a new function part_set_generic_name() in part.c and optimized.
Added recognition of MMC and SD types, name is like "mmcsda1".

fastboot: add support for writing MBR

2016-10-02T00:04:51+00:00

Add special target "mbr" (otherwise configurable via CONFIG_FASTBOOT_MBR_NAME)
to write MBR partition table.
Partitions are now searched using the generic function which finds any
partiiton by name. For MBR the partition names hda1, sda1, etc. are used.

disk: part: implement generic function part_get_info_by_name()

2016-10-02T00:04:45+00:00

So far partition search by name has been supported only on the EFI partition
table. This patch extends the search to all partition tables.

Rename part_get_info_efi_by_name() to part_get_info_by_name(), move it from
part_efi.c into part.c and make it a generic function which traverses all part
drivers and searches all partitions (in the order given by the linked list).

For this a new variable struct part_driver.max_entries is added, which limits
the number of partitions searched. For EFI this was GPT_ENTRY_NUMBERS.
Similarly the limit is defined for DOS, ISO, MAC and AMIGA partition tables.

Rename these functions so that part_ is at the start. This more clearly
identifies these functions as partition functions.
