Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] Add support for booting EFI FIT images
Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2019 09:46:57 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1576567269.git.cristian.ciocaltea@gmail.com> (raw)
Currently the only way to run an EFI binary like GRUB2 is via the
'bootefi' command, which cannot be used in a verified boot scenario.
The obvious solution to this limitation is to add support for
booting FIT images containing those EFI binaries.
The implementation relies on a new image type - IH_OS_EFI - which
can be created by using 'os = "efi"' inside an ITS file:
/ {
#address-cells = <1>;
images {
efi-grub {
description = "GRUB EFI";
data = /incbin/("bootarm.efi");
type = "kernel_noload";
arch = "arm";
os = "efi";
compression = "none";
load = <0x0>;
entry = <0x0>;
hash-1 {
algo = "sha256";
};
};
};
configurations {
default = "config-grub";
config-grub {
kernel = "efi-grub";
signature-1 {
algo = "sha256,rsa2048";
sign-images = "kernel";
};
};
};
};
The bootm command has been extended to handle the IH_OS_EFI images.
To enable this feature, a new configuration option has been added:
BOOTM_EFI
I tested the solution using the 'qemu_arm' board:
=> load scsi 0:1 ${kernel_addr_r} efi-image.fit
=> bootm ${kernel_addr_r}#config-grub
Changes in v3:
* Rebase patches on Heinrich Schuchardt's patch series v3:
efi_loader: prepare for FIT images
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2019-December/393677.html
This fixes implicitly the sandbox issue 'phys_to_virt: Cannot map
sandbox address' since efi_install_fdt() is now expecting a pointer
to addressable memory instead of a physical address.
* Get rid of 'EFI/BOOT/' prefix used in ITS samples
* Add a python test to verify the implementation in sandbox environment
Changes in v2:
* Rebase patches on Heinrich Schuchardt's patch series:
efi_loader: prepare for FIT images
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2019-December/393192.html
* Add sample configuration: doc/uImage.FIT/uefi.its
* Update uefi documentation: doc/uefi/uefi.rst
