2025-07-26efi: Rename CONFIG_EFI to CONFIG_EFI_CLIENTSimon Glass

2025-07-26efi: Rename the lib/efi directorySimon Glass
This directory was created when U-Boot gained the ability to run as an EFI app in 2015. Since then the EFI-loader feature has been added. The code in lib/efi is not actually used by the loader, so the name is confusing. Rename the directory to efi_client to indicate that it includes files just for U-Boot being a client of EFI, i.e. the EFI app and stub. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <[email protected]>

Fastboot currently supports MMC and NAND flash devices. Similarly, extend the support to SPI flash memories. Note that in this initial implementation, partitions on the device are not supported yet, but raw partitions can be set in U-Boot environment. To define a raw partition descriptor, add an environment variable similar to the MMC case: ``` fastboot_raw_partition_<raw partition name>=<offset> <size> ``` for example: ``` fastboot_raw_partition_boot=0x0 0x1000000 ``` Signed-off-by: Ariel D'Alessandro <[email protected]> Reviewed-by: Mattijs Korpershoek <[email protected]>

2025-07-08Merge patch series "kbuild: Update Makefile.extrawarn to 5.1"Tom Rini
This series from Ilias Apalodimas <[email protected]> largely finishes the re-sync with the Linux Kernel v5.1 kbuild system. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
2025-07-08kbuild: Bump the build system to 5.1Ilias Apalodimas
Our last sync with the kernel was 5.1. Even that was a partial one as some patches from 4.x kernels were already missing making the transition to a modern kbuild infeasible. We are so out of sync now, that tracking the patches and backporting them one by one makes little sense and it's going to take ages. This is an attempt to sync up Makefile[.lib/.kbuild]. Unfortunately due to sheer amount of patches this is not easy to review, but that's what we decided during a community call. One of the biggest changes is get rid of partial linking entirely and build .a archives isntead of .o. We diaviate from the kernel on that. Instead of calling a custom script to create the archive symbol table, we call ar with rcTP (isntead of rcSTP) since we want a resulting archive that's sauble with the linker. The only affected platforms are PPC ones. Unfortunately I don't have any of them around to test, but the objdump of the resulting files -- arch/powerpc/lib/built-in.[oa] looks identical.

2025-06-25Merge patch series "lmb: use a single API for all allocations"Tom Rini
Sughosh Ganu <[email protected]> says: The LMB module has a bunch for API's which are used for allocating memory. There are a couple of API's for requesting memory, and two more for reserving regions of memory. Replace these different API's with a single one, lmb_alloc_mem(). The type of allocation to be made is specified through one of the parameters to the function. Additionally, the two API's for reserving regions of memory, lmb_reserve() and lmb_alloc_addr() are the same with one difference. One can reserve any memory region with lmb_reserve(), while lmb_alloc_addr() actually checks that the memory region being requested is part of the LMB memory map. Reserving memory that is not part of the LMB memory map is pretty futile -- the allocation functions do not allocate memory which has not been added to the LMB memory map. This series also removes the functionality allowing for reserving memory regions outside the LMB memory map. Any request for reserving a region of memory outside the LMB memory map now returns an -EINVAL error. Certain places in the common code using the LMB API's were not checking the return value of the functions. Checks have been added for them. There are some calls being made from the architecture/platform specific code which too do not check the return value. Those have been kept the same, as I do not have the platform with me to check if it causes any issues on those platforms. In addition, there is a patch which refactors code in lmb_overlaps_region() and lmb_can_reserve_region() so that both functionalities can be put in a single function, lmb_overlap_checks(). Finally, a new patch has been added which checks the return value of the lmb allocation function before copying the device-tree to the allocated address.

2025-06-18Merge patch series "bootstd: New bootmeth for RAUC A/B systems"Tom Rini
Martin Schwan <[email protected]> says: This series implements a new bootmeth for RAUC A/B systems. RAUC (Robust Auto Update Controller) is a lightweight update client, providing "Safe and Secure OTA Updates for Embedded Linux". See the following links for more information about RAUC: https://rauc.io/ https://rauc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ PHYTEC uses RAUC in its Yocto based distribution "Ampliphy" as the default way of updating embedded devices based on PHYTEC hardware. So far, the logic selecting the correct partitions and files to boot was being implemented in the U-Boot environment. While this is a straightforward way to do it, adding and supporting new platforms became somewhat tedious and is platform-specific. The introduction of U-Boot's "Standard Boot" provided a convincing alternative, promising a simpler and more portable way of booting, even for RAUC systems. This led me to implement a new bootmeth supporting RAUC A/B systems. Note, that this new bootmeth is not proprietary to PHYTEC products and is designed to work on other hardware with a RAUC A/B system, too. The bootmeth currently only supports symmetric A/B partitioning layouts. E.g. A/rescue is not (yet) supported. The partition indexes and default slot tries can be specified via configuration options. For now, the bootmeth_rauc uses a similar approach for loading the Kernel and device tree as the bootmeth_script, in that it requires a FIT containing a U-Boot script loading the desired distro. It could be possible to support booting without a script and load the Kernel and DT directly with this bootmeth, but I found the script method to be very flexible for now, in letting the distro decide what to load. The bootmeth_rauc was tested on a phyBOARD-Pollux i.MX8M Plus [1] with BSP-Yocto-Ampliphy-i.MX8MP-PD24.1.2 [2]. Supported boot devices are currently only MMC devices, but it should be possible to add SPI flashes in the future. To test this patch stack with PHYTEC's phyBOARD-Pollux i.MX8M Plus board, you need to adjust the boot files to include the boot.scr.uimg containing the distro's boot script and set "optargs" to "${raucargs}" in it. Also disable any legacyboot in the U-Boot environment and simply boot with Standard Boot: bootmeth order rauc bootflow scan -lb [1]: https://www.phytec.eu/en/produkte/single-board-computer/phyboard-pollux/ [2]: https://download.phytec.de/Software/Linux/BSP-Yocto-i.MX8MP/BSP-Yocto-Ampliphy-i.MX8MP-PD24.1.2/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] [trini: Don't enable by default]
