2025-10-22boot: Run global bootmeths after all bootdevs are exhaustedSimon Glass
When there are no more bootdevs we should still go through the global bootmeths, since some may not have yet been used, if their priority has not yet come up. Add a final check for this at the end of the iterator. Update the documentation to match the new behaviour of global bootmeths. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2025-10-22boot: Don't change the method count after global bootmethsSimon Glass
At present before scanning global bootmeths, the iterator sets the method count to the index of the first global bootmeth. Now that we support scanning the global bootmeths multiple times, we must leave this count alone. Check against have_global and first_glob_method instead. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2025-10-22boot: Implement a priority for global bootmethsSimon Glass
Allow bootmeths to select when they want to run, using the bootdev priority. Provide a new bootmeth_glob_allowed() function which checks if a bootmeth is ready to use. Fix a comment in bootflow_system() which is a test for global bootmeths. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2025-10-22boot: Only run global bootmeths once eachSimon Glass
Use the methods_done flags to make sure that each global bootmeth is only used once. For now this has no effect, since they are all processed at the start. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2025-10-22boot: Support rescanning the global bootmethsSimon Glass
Add the logic to scan through the global bootmeths for every new bootdev, in preparation for allowing global bootmeths to select where in the hunter ordering they go. Use a new bootmeth_glob_allowed() function to check if a bootmeth is allowed, ensuring that each can run at most once. For now this has no actual effect, since the global bootmeths are unconditionally processed at the start, with iter->methods_done being updated to include all of them. Therefore when scanning again, no unprocessed global bootmeths will be found. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2025-10-22boot: Keep track of which bootmeths have been usedSimon Glass
Add a bitfield which tracks when bootmeths have been used. This will be needed when global bootmeths can be used later in the iteration. Fix a missing bootflow_free() while here. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2025-10-22boot: Update first_glob_method when dropping a bootmethSimon Glass
For now we only support dropping non-global bootmeths from the iteration. Update first_glob_method in that case and add a few checks that things are correct. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2025-10-22boot: Try all bootmeths on the final partitionSimon Glass
At present, normally when one bootmeth fails on a partition, we move on and try the next bootmeth. However, this was not the case for the final partition due to a bug. Rework the logic so that all partitions are treated the same. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>

2025-07-16boot: Ensure method_flags is initialised before useAndrew Goodbody
The local variable method_flags is only assigned to in some of the code paths leaving it possibly uninitialised at first use.

2025-04-03boot: Support IO UARTs for earlycon and consoleSimon Glass

2025-01-15bootstd: Add a simple command to list imagesSimon Glass
Add a new 'bootstd images' command, which lists the images which have been loaded. Update some existing tests to use it. Provide some documentation about images in general and this command in particular. Use a more realistic kernel command-line to make the test easier to follow.

2025-01-15bootstd: Update bootmeth_alloc_file() to record imagesSimon Glass
As a first step to recording images and where they came from, update this function to do so, since it is used by two bootmeths Create a helper function in the bootflow system, since recorded images are always associated with bootflows. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2025-01-15bootstd: Maintain a list of imagesSimon Glass
We want to keep track of images which are loaded, or those which could perhaps be loaded. This will make it easier to manage memory allocation, as well as permit removal of the EFI set_efi_bootdev() feature. Add a list of these, attached to the bootflow. For now the list is empty. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2025-01-15bootstd: Move the bootflow list into an alistSimon Glass
Use an alist for this data structure as it is somewhat simpler to manage. This means that bootstd holds a simple list of bootflow structs and can drop it at will, without chasing down lists. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2025-01-15bootstd: Drop the bootdev-specific list of bootflowsSimon Glass
This list is only used by two functions, which can be updated to iterate through the global list. Take this approach, which allows the bootdev list to be dropped. Overall this makes the code slightly more complicated, but will allow moving the bootflow list into an alist Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>

2024-03-04bootstd: support scanning a single partitionNam Cao
The "bootflow" command currently doesn't support scanning a single partition. This is inconvenient in setups with multiple bootable partitions within a single disk, but only one is desired.

2023-11-17bootstd: Avoid freeing a non-allocated bufferSimon Glass
EFI applications can be very large and thus used to cause boot failures when malloc() space was exhausted. A recent changed fixed this by using the kernel_addr_r environment var as the address of the buffer. However, it still frees the buffer when the bootflow is discarded. Fix this by introducing a flag to indicate whether the buffer was allocated, or not. Note that kernel_addr_r is not the last word here. It might be better to use lmb to place images. But there is a lot of refactoring to do before we can remove the environment variables. The distro scripts rely on them so it is safe for bootstd to do so too.

2023-10-23bootstd: Scan all bootdevs in a boot_targets entry (take 2)Simon Glass
When the boot_targets environment variable is used with the distro-boot scripts, each device is included individually. For example, if there are three mmc devices, then we will have something like: boot_targets="mmc0 mmc1 mmc2" In contrast, standard boot supports specifying just the uclass, i.e.: boot_targets="mmc" The intention is that this should scan all MMC devices, but in fact it currently only scans the first.

2023-08-11bootstd: Add a command to read all files for a bootflowSimon Glass
Some bootflows (such as EFI and ChromiumOS) delay reading the kernel until it is needed to boot. This saves time when scanning and avoids needing to allocate memory for something that may never be used. To permit reading of these files, add a new 'bootflow read' command.

2023-07-17bootstd: Support automatically setting Linux parametersSimon Glass
Some Linux parameters can be set automatically by U-Boot, if it knows the device being used. For example, since U-Boot knows the serial console being used, it can add parameters for earlycon and console. Add support for this. Note that this is an experimental feature and we will see how useful it turns out to be. It is very handy for ChromeOS, since otherwise it is very difficult to manually determine the UART address or port number, particularly in a script.

2023-07-17bootstd: Add support for updating elements of the cmdlineSimon Glass

We want to support scanning a single label, like 'mmc' or 'usb0'. Add this feature by plumbing the label through to the iterator, setting a flag to indicate that only siblings of the initial device should be used. This means that scanning a bootdev by its name is not supported anymore. That feature doesn't seem very useful in practice, so it is no great loss.

2023-01-23bootstd: Switch bootdev scanning to use labelsSimon Glass
At present we set up the bootdev order at the start, then scan the bootdevs one by one. However this approach cannot be used with hunters, since the bootdevs may not exist until the hunter is used. Nor can we just run all the hunters at the start, since that violate's U-Boot's 'lazy init' requirement. It also increases boot time. So we need to adjust the algorithm to scan by labels instead. As a first step, drop the dev_order[] array in favour of a list of labels. Update the name of bootdev_setup_iter_order() to better reflect what it does. Update some related comments and log messages. Also disable a few tests until a later commit where we can use them. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
