2025-10-13bootstd: Fix bootflow info for efi_mgrSam Protsenko
A "Synchronous Abort" CPU exception happens on an attempt to run the "bootflow info" command for a global boot method (e.g. efi_mgr): => bootflow select 0 => bootflow info "Synchronous Abort" handler, esr 0x96000006, far 0x8 It happens because do_bootflow_info() tries to dereference bflow->dev, which is NULL in case of efi_mgr. Add the corresponding check to prevent this NULL pointer dereference and make "bootflow info" command work properly for global boot methods.

2025-05-30expo: Update bootflow_menu_poll() to return a sequence IDSimon Glass
Rather than returning a bootflow, return the index of the bootflow. This will allow callers to do their own translation to bootflows or some other data structure. Also return a special code when the user tries to move the pointer, so that the caller can cancel the boot-menu timeout, if this is in use. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2025-05-30expo: Drop the render from expo_poll()Simon Glass
Within tests it is useful to be able to control rendering of the expo. Drop the automatic call to expo_render() within expo_poll() and adjust its callers to handle this instead. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2025-05-30expo: Split bootflow_menu_run() into two piecesSimon Glass
Split the starting piece of this function into bootflow_menu_start() and the polling part into bootflow_menu_poll() so that it is possible for the caller to be in control of the event loop. Move the expo_destroy() call into the caller. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2025-05-30expo: Add a function to poll for inputSimon Glass
Both bootflow_menu and cedit use similar logic to poll an expo. Move this into the expo library so the code can be shared. Update bootflow_menu_run() to return -EPIPE when the user quits without choosing anything, since -EAGAIN is ambiguous and elsewhere means that there is no input yet.

The include file <command.h> does not need anything from <env.h>. Furthermore, include/env.h itself includes other headers which can lead to longer indirect inclusion paths. To prepare to remove <env.h> from <command.h> fix all of the places which had relied on this indirect inclusion to instead include <env.h> directly.

2025-04-03boot: Consider non-bootable partitionsSimon Glass
Any 'bootable' flag in a DOS partition causes boostd to only scan bootable partitions for that media. This can mean that extlinux.conf files on the root disk are missed. Put this logic behind a flag and update the documentation. For now, the flag is enabled, to preserve the existing behaviour of bootstd which is to ignore non-bootable partitions so long as there is at least one bootable partition on the disk. Future work may provide a command (or some other mechanism) to control this. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>

2025-03-18x86: Move the bootm state for zimage into cmd/Simon Glass

2025-01-15bootstd: Move the bootflow list into an alistSimon Glass

2023-12-20bootflow: Allow setting a cmdline arg with no valueSimon Glass
This is supposed to be supported by the 'bootflow cmd' command, at least according to the help. There is a 'bootflow cmd clear' but it is often more intuitive to use 'bootcmd cmd set' with an empty value. Update the command to pass BOOTFLOWCL_EMPTY in this case.

2023-11-14bootstd: Add a return code to bootflow menuSimon Glass
Return an error when the user does not select an OS, so we know whether to boot or not. Move calling of bootflow_menu_run() into a separate function so we can call it from other places.

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. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2023-08-10bootstd: Allow display of the x86 setup informationSimon Glass
Provide an option to dump this information if available. Move the funciion prototype to the common x86 header. Allow the command line to be left out since 'bootflow info' show this itself and it is not in the correct place in memory until the kernel is actually booted. Fix a badly aligned heading while we are here. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
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. Provide an example of how this is used with ChromeOS. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Bin Meng <[email protected]>
2023-07-17bootstd: Add support for updating elements of the cmdlineSimon Glass
Add a bootflow command to update the command line more easily. This allows changing a particular parameter rather than editing a very long strings. It is also easier to handle with scripting. The new 'bootflow cmdline' command allows getting and setting single parameters. Fix up the example output while we are here, since there are a few new items.

2023-07-16bootstd: Allow storing x86 setup informationSimon Glass
On x86 boards Linux uses a block of binary data to provide information about the command line, memory map, etc. Provide a way to store this in the bootflow so it can be passed on to the OS. No attempt is made to generalise the code, since other archs don't need this information. The field is present always, though, to avoid needing accessors or #ifdefs when building code on other archs.

2023-07-16bootstd: Use the bootargs env var for changing the cmdlineSimon Glass
The "bootargs" environment variable is used to set the command-line arguments to pass to the OS. Use this same mechanism with bootstd as well. When the variable is updated, it is written to the current bootflow. When the current bootflow is updated, the environment variable is updated too.

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]>
2023-05-13bootstd: Correct default boot commandSimon Glass
The patch to relax flag requirements was not accepted[1], so we still have to have separate bootcommands depending on CMD_BOOTFLOW_FULL. The previous attempt at this did not work, since it used the wrong name for the options. Fix this and change the message to mention BOOTSTD_FULL since this affects not just the flags, but all functionality, so is more likely what the user wants. Drop the useless condition on CMD_BOOTFLOW_FULL while we are here.

2023-04-28bootflow: Rework do_bootflow_menu() slightlyTom Rini
When building this with clang, we get a warning such as: cmd/bootflow.c:412:27: warning: variable 'bflow' is uninitialized when used here [-Wuninitialized] printf("Selected: %s\n", bflow->os_name ? bflow->os_name : bflow->name); ^~~~~ And a suggestion to just initialize bflow to NULL. This would however would be ensuring a bad dereference. Instead, looking at the function we rework things so that when CONFIG_EXPO is not enabled (and so, no UI) we error early and would never reach this point in the code. Simplify the rest slightly as well while at this. Signed-off-by: Tom Rini <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>

2023-01-23bootstd: Allow scanning a single bootdev labelSimon 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: Treat DHCP and PXE as bootdev labelsSimon Glass
These are associated with the ethernet boot device but do not match its uclass name, so handle them as special cases. Provide a way to pass flags through with the bootdev so that we know how to process it. The flags are checked by the bootmeths, to ensure that only the selected bootmeth is used. While these both use the network device, they work quite differently. It is common to run only one of these, or to run PXE before DHCP. Provide bootflow flags to control which methods are used. Check these in the two bootmeths so that only the chosen one is used. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
2023-01-23bootstd: Include the device tree in the bootflowSimon Glass
Some bootmeths provide a way to load a device tree as well as the base OS image. Add a way to store this in the bootflow. Update the 'bootflow info' command to show this information. Note that the device tree is not allocated, but instead is stored at an address provided by an environment variable. This may need to be adjusted at some point, but for now it works well and fits in with the existing distro-boot scripts. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>
