block: Add SPL_BLOCK_CACHE and default n

2018-06-18T18:43:13+00:00

When enabling BLOCK_CACHE on devices with limited RAM during SPL,
some devices may not boot.  This creates an option to enable
block caching in SPL by defaults off.  It is dependent on SPL_BLK

Fixes: 46960ad6d09b ("block: Have BLOCK_CACHE default to y in some cases")

SPDX: Convert all of our single license tags to Linux Kernel style

2018-05-07T13:34:12+00:00

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from.  So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry.  Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.

In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.

This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents.  There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.

SystemACE: Remove

2018-02-14T04:24:22+00:00

This driver is no longer used on any supported platform in U-Boot and
there is no interest in maintaining it further from people that have
used it historically.

efi_driver: EFI block driver

2018-01-22T22:09:14+00:00

This patch provides
* a uclass for EFI drivers
* a EFI driver for block devices

For each EFI driver the uclass
* creates a handle
* adds the driver binding protocol

The uclass provides the bind, start, and stop entry points for the driver
binding protocol.

In bind() and stop() it checks if the controller implements the protocol
supported by the EFI driver. In the start() function it calls the bind()
function of the EFI driver. In the stop() function it destroys the child
controllers.

The EFI block driver binds to controllers implementing the block io
protocol.

When the bind function of the EFI block driver is called it creates a
new U-Boot block device. It installs child handles for all partitions and
installs the simple file protocol on these.

The read and write functions of the EFI block driver delegate calls to the
controller that it is bound to.

A usage example is as following:

U-Boot loads the iPXE snp.efi executable. iPXE connects an iSCSI drive and
exposes a handle with the block IO protocol. It calls ConnectController.

Now the EFI block driver installs the partitions with the simple file
protocol.

iPXE uses the simple file protocol to load Grub or the Linux Kernel.

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.

blk: dm: make blk_create_device() take a number of block instead of a size

2017-09-12T03:43:58+00:00

There is an overflow problem when taking the size instead of the number
of blocks in blk_create_device(). This results in a wrong device size: the
device apparent size is its real size  modulo 4GB.
Using the number of blocks instead of the device size fixes the problem and
is more coherent with the internals of the block layer.

dm: blk: Add a generic function for block device commands

2017-08-17T07:44:16+00:00

Most block devices provide a command (e.g. 'sata', 'scsi', 'ide') and
these commands generally do the same thing. This makes it harder to
maintain this code and keep it consistent.

We now have a block device interface which is either implemented by driver
model (when CONFIG_BLK is enabled) or with a legacy interface. Therefore
it is possible to handle most of what these commands do with generic code.

Add a new generic function to process block-device commands using the
interface type and the current device number for that type.

dm: blk: Add a function to find an interface-type name

2017-08-17T07:44:16+00:00

Add a function to find the name of an interface type (e.g. "sata", "scsi")
from the interface type enum.

This is useful for generic code (not specific to SATA or SCSI, for
example) that wants to display the type of interface it is dealing with.
