[PATCH v4 12/33] bootstd: Add the concept of a bootflow

Simon Glass
2022-03-06T12:53:12Z

A bootflow encapsulates the process used to boot an operating system.
It typically has a control file (such as extlinux.conf) and information
about which 'bootdev' it came from.

Add the header file for this first, since it is needed by all other
files.

Changes in v4:
- Add a new fs_type field for use with sandbox
- Use new Return style in function comments

Changes in v3:
- Mention bootflow_state[] in enum bootflow_state_t

+ *
+ * Iteration starts with the bootdev. The first partition (0, i.e. whole device)
+ * is scanned first. For partition 0, it iterates through all the available
+ * bootmeths to see which one(s) can provide a bootflow. Then it moves to
+ * parition 1 (if there is one) and the process continues. Once all partitions
+ * are examined, it moves to the next bootdev.
+ *
+ * Initially @max_part is 0, meaning that only the whole device (@part=0) can be
+ * used. During scanning, if a partition table is found, then @max_part is
+ * updated to a larger value, no less than the number of available partitions.
+ * This ensures that iteration works through all partitions on the bootdev.

+ * @method: Current bootmeth

+ * partition table
+ * @err: Error obtained from checking the last iteration. This is used to skip
+ * forward (e.g. to skip the current partition because it is not valid)
+ * -ESHUTDOWN: try next bootdev
+ * @num_devs: Number of bootdevs in @dev_order
+ * @cur_dev: Current bootdev number, an index into @dev_order[]
