2026-02-17treewide: Clean up DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR usagePeng Fan
Remove DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR from files where gd is not used, and drop the unnecessary inclusion of asm/global_data.h. Headers should be included directly by the files that need them, rather than indirectly via global_data.h.

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: Add a flag for whether there are global bootmethsSimon Glass
The current 'doing_global' refers to being in the state of processing global bootmeths. Since global bootmeths are currently used once at the start, it becomes false once the last global bootmeth has been used. In preparation for allowing bootmeths to run at other points in the bootstd interation, add a new 'have_global' flag which tracks whether there are any global bootmeths in the method_order[] list. It is set up when iteration starts. Unlike doing_global which resets back to false after the global bootmeths have been handled, once have_global is set to true, it remains true for the entire iteration process. This provides a quick check as to whether global-bootmeth processing is needed. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>

2025-06-20bootstd: Fix incorrect struct name in bootmeth_setup_iter_order()Sam Protsenko
There is no such thing as struct bootmeth, it's probably a typo. This issue doesn't affect the execution as it's a pointer, and pointer sizes are the same for all data types. But it can be confusing, so make it struct udevice, as it should be. Fixes: a950d31abe98 ("bootstd: Add the bootmeth uclass and helpers") Signed-off-by: Sam Protsenko <[email protected]>
2025-06-20bootstd: Probe bootmeth devices for bootmeths env varSam Protsenko
Specifying efi_mgr in 'bootmeths' environment variable leads to NULL pointer dereference when 'bootflow scan' is executed, with call trace like this: priv->fake_dev // NULL pointer dereference .read_bootflow = efi_mgr_read_bootflow() bootmeth_get_bootflow() bootflow_check() bootflow_scan_first() do_bootflow_scan() 'bootflow scan -l' That happens because in case when 'bootmeths' env var is defined the bootmeth_efi_mgr driver is not probed, and the memory for its private data isn't allocated by .priv_auto. In case when 'bootmeths' env var is not defined, the std->bootmeth_count is 0, and the execution flow in bootmeth_setup_iter_order() takes "no ordering" path, which in turn runs uclass_get_device_by_seq() -> ... -> device_probe(), so issue isn't present there. But when 'bootmeths' is defined and contains efi_mgr, the std->bootmeth_count > 0, so bootmeth_setup_iter_order() follows the "we have an ordering" path, where devices are not probed. In other words: 'bootmeths' defined 'bootmeths' not defined -------------------------------------------------------- priv == NULL priv != NULL ^ ^ | device_alloc_priv() no probe device_of_to_plat() ^ device_probe() | uclass_get_device_tail() dev = order[i] uclass_get_device_by_seq() ^ ^ | have an ordering | no ordering +----------------+---------------+ | bootmeth_setup_iter_order() bootflow_scan_first() do_bootflow_scan() Add an explicit device_probe() call in "we have an ordering" case to fix the issue.

2024-10-15bootstd: Add command to enable setting of bootmeth specific propertiesMartyn Welch
We have previously added logic to allow a "fallback" option to be specified in the extlinux configuration. Provide a command that allows us to set this as the preferred default option when booting. Combined with the bootcount functionality, this allows the "altbootcmd" to provide a means of falling back to a previously known good state after a failed update. For example, if "bootcmd" is set to: bootflow scan -lb We would set "altbootcmd" to: bootmeth set extlinux fallback 1; bootflow scan -lb Causing the boot process to boot from the fallback option.

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.

2023-05-13bootstd: Tidy up reporting of errorsSimon Glass
In a few cases the error handling is not quite right. Make sure we return the actual error in distro_efi_read_bootflow_file() rather than -EINVAL. Return -IO when a file cannot be read. Also show the error name if available. This does not change operation, but does make it easier to diagnose problems. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2023-01-23bootstd: Add a new bootmeth method to set the bootflowSimon Glass
Normally the bootmeth driver reads the bootflow from the bootdev, since it knows the correct way to do it. However it is easier for some bootdevs to handle this themselves. For example, reading from SPI flash is quite different from other devices. Add a way for the bootdev to pass a bootflow to the bootmeth, so that this can be supported.

2022-08-12bootstd: Allow scanning for global bootmeths separatelySimon Glass
Typically we want to find and use global bootmeths first, since they have the best idea of how the system should boot. We then use normal bootmeths as a fallback. Add the logic for this, putting global bootmeths at the end of the ordering. We can then easily scan the global bootmeths first, then drop them from the list for subsequent bootdev-centric scans. This changes the ordering of global bootmeths, so update the bootflow_system() accordingly. Drop the comment from bootmeth_setup_iter_order() since this is an exported function and it should be in the header file. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2022-08-12bootstd: Allow bootmeths to be marked as globalSimon Glass
The current way of handling things like EFI bootmgr is a bit odd, since that bootmeth handles selection of the bootdev itself. VBE needs to work the same way, so we should support it properly. Add a flag that indicates that the bootmeth is global, rather than being invoked on each bootdev. Provide a helper to read a bootflow from the bootmeth. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2022-08-12bootstd: Provide a bootmeth method to obtain state infoSimon Glass

2022-08-12bootstd: Detect empty bootmeth orderingSimon Glass
If the ordering produces no entries, this is an error. Report it, so that the caller doesn't try to continue with a NULL bootmeth. This fixes a crash in the bootflow_iter test when running with the sandbox 'default' device tree, instead of the required 'test' one. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2022-04-25bootstd: Add the bootmeth uclass and helpersSimon Glass
A bootmeth is a method of locating an operating system. For now, just add the uclass itself. Drivers for particular bootmeths are added later. If no bootmeths devices are included in the devicetree, create them automatically. This avoids the need for boilerplate in the devicetree files. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
