Subject: [PATCH for-4.5 V7 00/14] arm64 EFI stub
Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2014 18:42:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1411609352-24549-1-git-send-email-roy.franz@linaro.org> (raw)
This patch series adds EFI boot support for arm64. A PE/COFF header is created
in head.S, as there is no toolchain support for PE/COFF on arm64. This also
has the advantage that the file is both an "Image" file and a PE/COFF
executable - the same binary can be loaded and run either way. The EFI 'stub'
code is a shim layer that serves as the loader for the XEN kernel in the EFI
environment. The stub loads the dom0 kernel and initrd if required, and adds
entries for them as well as for the EFI data structures into the device tree
passed to XEN. Once the device tree is constructed, EFI boot services are
exited, and the stub transfers control to the normal XEN entry point. The only
indication XEN has that it was loaded via the stub is that the device tree
contains EFI properties. This is all very similar to the arm/arm64 Linux
kernel EFI stubs.
Changes since v6:
* Move pci unitialized buffer fix to first patch in series, restructured
by Jan
* Move efi_l4_pgtable extern to efi.h
* Fix symlink creation in Makefile for common/efi files
* Use dt_set_cell to simplify fdt_set_reg() implementation
* move include of asm/fixmap.h back to boot.c
* formating fix in runtime.c
Changes since v5:
* FDT and ARM cache flushing patches removed, as those have been applied
to master branch
* rebased to master that includes above changesets.
* Added new patch fixing bug in PCI rom scan code.
(separate patch since it is a bug fix)
* efi-boot.h files moved from global include directories to arch/*/efi
directories, as that is the only place they are used.
* removed redundant newlines in blexit() calls
* removed uneccessary initializers.
* reverted string variable changes that where left over from other reverted
changes.
* removed local memory map variables, no longer required.
* made symlinks from commone/efi relative
* simplify get_argv() call with NULL parameter
* rename efi_arch_memory to efi_arch_memory_setup
* fixed type of local 'i' variable in new arch functions. reviewed
other local variables.
* fixed wstrlen coding style
* various formatting fixes - init ordering, remove declration reordering,
blank lines, etc.
* moved x86 externs to appropriate global includes.
* fixed XXX placeholder in comments
* simplified ucode file handling, ignore anything after filename, as options
not supported
* Added Acked-by lines for patches fully acked, or where minor changes were
requested and made.
Changes since v4:
* Move runtime.c/compat.c/efi.h from arch/x86/efi to common/efi
* Create symbolic links at build time from common/efi to arch/xxx/efi
* Moved all non-VGA video code back to boot.c
* Cleaned up __init in forward declarations, moved declarations to common file
* Fixed type of i in efi_arch_process_memory_map()
* Added early/late arch cfg file functions - arm64 needs early, x86 wants late.
* Added #ifdefs to disable runtime services code that is not yet implemented for
ARM (code moved back from arch specific file.)
Global variables are left, as this allows common code setting these in boot
code to be left.
* just provide arch specific allocator for EFI memory map, not function
returning the map.
* Renamed truncate_string() to split_string()
* Fixed up MBI static inilization comments in moved code.
* Added explanation of ARM config file ordering requirement to commit message
and code.
* Added explanation of increase of NR_MEM_BANKS
* Variety of minor formating cleanups.
* Remove mem-reserve regions from DTB in addition to the memory banks. The EFI
memory map is the only memory description that is used.
Changes since v3:
* Add symbolic link from common/efi/boot.c to arch/x86/efi/boot.c. This
simplifies the build system changes and resolves the parallel build issues
in v3. x86 EFI code build is unchanged, and ARM EFI code uses the normal
common build structure. (This symlink seems to have confused git's moved file
detection for boot.c)
* Fix XEN to be Xen throughout
* Fix spacing and missing blank lines between functions
* Add pseudo-prototype of efi_xen_start is head.S, change prototype to take
pointer instead of integer to avoid cast, add comment explaining saving of x0
* Use uintptr_t in casts from uint to pointer for device tree.
* Change alignment requirements to 4k in PE/COFF header and alignment check
in code.
* Rebased to latest master branch.
Changes since v2:
* Major refactor to use common EFI entry point and factor out arch specific
code, rather than factoring out the common code.
* Update entire libfdt to v1.4.0 to provide fdt_create_empty_tree()
Changes since v1:
* Added common/efi directory for shared EFI code, and arch/arm/efi for
arm-specfic code. Global build hacking of -fshort-wchar removed.
arm32, arm64, and x86 with/without EFI enabled toolchain all build.
The x86 build previously autodetected whether the EFI version should
be built or not based on toolchain support. I couldn't get this working
nicely with the common code, so for x86 I have the common code always
build, and the EFI autodection works as normal for building the EFI
version.
* Basic use of the EFI memory map instead of FDT based memory description.
More work needed to resolve differences between FDT description of
a small number of large memory banks with reserved regions, and EFI's
potentially long list of available regions, which can be long.
* More refactoring of common EFI code to not directly exit using blexit(),
as this broke the pre-linking targets. All shared code returns status,
and it is up to the caller to exit and clean up.
* Reduced the number of patches. Refactoring of x86 code first, then moving
all code to efi-shared.c in one patch.
* Fixed formatting/tab issues in new files, added Emacs footer.
* Fixed efi_get_memory_map to return NULL map pointer on error in addition
to failed status.
* Added comments in head.S regarding PE/COFF specification, and 1:1
mapping used by EFI code.
* Updated device tree bindings to use new multiboot bindings. Since the stub
is always built into XEN, we don't have to support older bindings.
