efi_loader: split README.efi into two separate documents
README.efi describes two different concepts: * U-Boot exposing the UEFI API * U-Boot running on top of UEFI. This patch splits the document in two. Religious references are removed. The separation of the concepts makes sense before detailing the internals of U-Boot exposing the UEFI API in a future patch.

U-Boot on EFI
|
||||
=============
|
||||
This document provides information about U-Boot running on top of EFI, either
|
||||
as an application or just as a means of getting U-Boot onto a new platform.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In God's Name, Why?
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
This is useful in several situations:
|
||||
|
||||
- You have EFI running on a board but U-Boot does not natively support it
|
||||
fully yet. You can boot into U-Boot from EFI and use that until U-Boot is
|
||||
fully ported
|
||||
|
||||
- You need to use an EFI implementation (e.g. UEFI) because your vendor
|
||||
requires it in order to provide support
|
||||
|
||||
- You plan to use coreboot to boot into U-Boot but coreboot support does
|
||||
not currently exist for your platform. In the meantime you can use U-Boot
|
||||
on EFI and then move to U-Boot on coreboot when ready
|
||||
|
||||
- You use EFI but want to experiment with a simpler alternative like U-Boot
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Status
|
||||
------
|
||||
Only x86 is supported at present. If you are using EFI on another architecture
|
||||
you may want to reconsider. However, much of the code is generic so could be
|
||||
ported.
|
||||
|
||||
U-Boot supports running as an EFI application for 32-bit EFI only. This is
|
||||
not very useful since only a serial port is provided. You can look around at
|
||||
memory and type 'help' but that is about it.
|
||||
|
||||
More usefully, U-Boot supports building itself as a payload for either 32-bit
|
||||
or 64-bit EFI. U-Boot is packaged up and loaded in its entirety by EFI. Once
|
||||
started, U-Boot changes to 32-bit mode (currently) and takes over the
|
||||
machine. You can use devices, boot a kernel, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Build Instructions
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
First choose a board that has EFI support and obtain an EFI implementation
|
||||
for that board. It will be either 32-bit or 64-bit. Alternatively, you can
|
||||
opt for using QEMU [1] and the OVMF [2], as detailed below.
|
||||
|
||||
To build U-Boot as an EFI application (32-bit EFI required), enable CONFIG_EFI
|
||||
and CONFIG_EFI_APP. The efi-x86 config (efi-x86_defconfig) is set up for this.
|
||||
Just build U-Boot as normal, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
make efi-x86_defconfig
|
||||
make
|
||||
|
||||
To build U-Boot as an EFI payload (32-bit or 64-bit EFI can be used), adjust an
|
||||
existing config (like qemu-x86_defconfig) to enable CONFIG_EFI, CONFIG_EFI_STUB
|
||||
and either CONFIG_EFI_STUB_32BIT or CONFIG_EFI_STUB_64BIT. All of these are
|
||||
boolean Kconfig options. Then build U-Boot as normal, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
make qemu-x86_defconfig
|
||||
make
|
||||
|
||||
You will end up with one of these files depending on what you build for:
|
||||
|
||||
u-boot-app.efi - U-Boot EFI application
|
||||
u-boot-payload.efi - U-Boot EFI payload application
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Trying it out
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
QEMU is an emulator and it can emulate an x86 machine. Please make sure your
|
||||
QEMU version is 2.3.0 or above to test this. You can run the payload with
|
||||
something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
mkdir /tmp/efi
|
||||
cp /path/to/u-boot*.efi /tmp/efi
|
||||
qemu-system-x86_64 -bios bios.bin -hda fat:/tmp/efi/
|
||||
|
||||
Add -nographic if you want to use the terminal for output. Once it starts
|
||||
type 'fs0:u-boot-payload.efi' to run the payload or 'fs0:u-boot-app.efi' to
|
||||
run the application. 'bios.bin' is the EFI 'BIOS'. Check [2] to obtain a
|
||||
prebuilt EFI BIOS for QEMU or you can build one from source as well.
|
||||
|
||||
To try it on real hardware, put u-boot-app.efi on a suitable boot medium,
|
||||
such as a USB stick. Then you can type something like this to start it:
|
||||
|
||||
fs0:u-boot-payload.efi
|
||||
|
||||
(or fs0:u-boot-app.efi for the application)
|
||||
|
||||
This will start the payload, copy U-Boot into RAM and start U-Boot. Note
|
||||
that EFI does not support booting a 64-bit application from a 32-bit
|
||||
EFI (or vice versa). Also it will often fail to print an error message if
|
||||
you get this wrong.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Inner workings
|
||||
==============
|
||||
Here follow a few implementation notes for those who want to fiddle with
|
||||
this and perhaps contribute patches.
|
||||
|
||||
The application and payload approaches sound similar but are in fact
|
||||
implemented completely differently.
|
||||
|
||||
EFI Application
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
For the application the whole of U-Boot is built as a shared library. The
|
||||
efi_main() function is in lib/efi/efi_app.c. It sets up some basic EFI
|
||||
functions with efi_init(), sets up U-Boot global_data, allocates memory for
|
||||
U-Boot's malloc(), etc. and enters the normal init sequence (board_init_f()
|
||||
and board_init_r()).
|
||||
|
||||
Since U-Boot limits its memory access to the allocated regions very little
|
||||
special code is needed. The CONFIG_EFI_APP option controls a few things
|
||||
that need to change so 'git grep CONFIG_EFI_APP' may be instructive.
|
||||
The CONFIG_EFI option controls more general EFI adjustments.
|
||||
|
||||
The only available driver is the serial driver. This calls back into EFI
|
||||
'boot services' to send and receive characters. Although it is implemented
|
||||
as a serial driver the console device is not necessarilly serial. If you
|
||||
boot EFI with video output then the 'serial' device will operate on your
|
||||
target devices's display instead and the device's USB keyboard will also
|
||||
work if connected. If you have both serial and video output, then both
|
||||
consoles will be active. Even though U-Boot does the same thing normally,
|
||||
These are features of EFI, not U-Boot.
|
||||
|
||||
Very little code is involved in implementing the EFI application feature.
|
||||
U-Boot is highly portable. Most of the difficulty is in modifying the
|
||||
Makefile settings to pass the right build flags. In particular there is very
|
||||
little x86-specific code involved - you can find most of it in
|
||||
arch/x86/cpu. Porting to ARM (which can also use EFI if you are brave
|
||||
enough) should be straightforward.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the 'reset' command to get back to EFI.
|
||||
|
||||
EFI Payload
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
The payload approach is a different kettle of fish. It works by building
|
||||
U-Boot exactly as normal for your target board, then adding the entire
|
||||
image (including device tree) into a small EFI stub application responsible
|
||||
for booting it. The stub application is built as a normal EFI application
|
||||
except that it has a lot of data attached to it.
|
||||
|
||||
The stub application is implemented in lib/efi/efi_stub.c. The efi_main()
|
||||
function is called by EFI. It is responsible for copying U-Boot from its
|
||||
original location into memory, disabling EFI boot services and starting
|
||||
U-Boot. U-Boot then starts as normal, relocates, starts all drivers, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
The stub application is architecture-dependent. At present it has some
|
||||
x86-specific code and a comment at the top of efi_stub.c describes this.
|
||||
|
||||
While the stub application does allocate some memory from EFI this is not
|
||||
used by U-Boot (the payload). In fact when U-Boot starts it has all of the
|
||||
memory available to it and can operate as it pleases (but see the next
|
||||
section).
|
||||
|
||||
Tables
|
||||
------
|
||||
The payload can pass information to U-Boot in the form of EFI tables. At
|
||||
present this feature is used to pass the EFI memory map, an inordinately
|
||||
large list of memory regions. You can use the 'efi mem all' command to
|
||||
display this list. U-Boot uses the list to work out where to relocate
|
||||
itself.
|
||||
|
||||
Although U-Boot can use any memory it likes, EFI marks some memory as used
|
||||
by 'run-time services', code that hangs around while U-Boot is running and
|
||||
is even present when Linux is running. This is common on x86 and provides
|
||||
a way for Linux to call back into the firmware to control things like CPU
|
||||
fan speed. U-Boot uses only 'conventional' memory, in EFI terminology. It
|
||||
will relocate itself to the top of the largest block of memory it can find
|
||||
below 4GB.
|
||||
|
||||
Interrupts
|
||||
----------
|
||||
U-Boot drivers typically don't use interrupts. Since EFI enables interrupts
|
||||
it is possible that an interrupt will fire that U-Boot cannot handle. This
|
||||
seems to cause problems. For this reason the U-Boot payload runs with
|
||||
interrupts disabled at present.
|
||||
|
||||
32/64-bit
|
||||
---------
|
||||
While the EFI application can in principle be built as either 32- or 64-bit,
|
||||
only 32-bit is currently supported. This means that the application can only
|
||||
be used with 32-bit EFI.
|
||||
|
||||
The payload stub can be build as either 32- or 64-bits. Only a small amount
|
||||
of code is built this way (see the extra- line in lib/efi/Makefile).
|
||||
Everything else is built as a normal U-Boot, so is always 32-bit on x86 at
|
||||
present.
|
||||
|
||||
Future work
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
This work could be extended in a number of ways:
|
||||
|
||||
- Add a generic x86 EFI payload configuration. At present you need to modify
|
||||
an existing one, but mostly the low-level x86 code is disabled when booting
|
||||
on EFI anyway, so a generic 'EFI' board could be created with a suitable set
|
||||
of drivers enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
- Add ARM support
|
||||
|
||||
- Add 64-bit application support
|
||||
|
||||
- Figure out how to solve the interrupt problem
|
||||
|
||||
- Add more drivers to the application side (e.g. video, block devices, USB,
|
||||
environment access). This would mostly be an academic exercise as a strong
|
||||
use case is not readily apparent, but it might be fun.
|
||||
|
||||
- Avoid turning off boot services in the stub. Instead allow U-Boot to make
|
||||
use of boot services in case it wants to. It is unclear what it might want
|
||||
though.
|
||||

||||

EFI on U-Boot
|

=============
|

This document provides information about the implementation of the UEFI API [1]
|
||||
in U-Boot.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to support for running U-Boot as a UEFI application, U-Boot itself
|
||||
can also expose the UEFI interfaces and thus allow UEFI payloads to run under
|
||||
it.

You will end up with one of these files depending on what you build for:
|
||||
|
||||
u-boot-app.efi - U-Boot EFI application
|
||||
u-boot-payload.efi - U-Boot EFI payload application
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Trying it out
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
QEMU is an emulator and it can emulate an x86 machine. Please make sure your
|
||||
QEMU version is 2.3.0 or above to test this. You can run the payload with
|
||||
something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
mkdir /tmp/efi
|
||||
cp /path/to/u-boot*.efi /tmp/efi
|
||||
qemu-system-x86_64 -bios bios.bin -hda fat:/tmp/efi/
|
||||
|
||||
Add -nographic if you want to use the terminal for output. Once it starts
|
||||
type 'fs0:u-boot-payload.efi' to run the payload or 'fs0:u-boot-app.efi' to
|
||||
run the application. 'bios.bin' is the EFI 'BIOS'. Check [2] to obtain a
|
||||
prebuilt EFI BIOS for QEMU or you can build one from source as well.
|
||||
|
||||
To try it on real hardware, put u-boot-app.efi on a suitable boot medium,
|
||||
such as a USB stick. Then you can type something like this to start it:
|
||||
|
||||
fs0:u-boot-payload.efi
|
||||
|
||||
(or fs0:u-boot-app.efi for the application)
|
||||
|
||||
This will start the payload, copy U-Boot into RAM and start U-Boot. Note
|
||||
that EFI does not support booting a 64-bit application from a 32-bit
|
||||
EFI (or vice versa). Also it will often fail to print an error message if
|
||||
you get this wrong.

The application and payload approaches sound similar but are in fact

|

|

EFI Application
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
For the application the whole of U-Boot is built as a shared library. The
|
||||
efi_main() function is in lib/efi/efi_app.c. It sets up some basic EFI
|
||||
functions with efi_init(), sets up U-Boot global_data, allocates memory for
|
||||
U-Boot's malloc(), etc. and enters the normal init sequence (board_init_f()
|

consoles will be active. Even though U-Boot does the same thing normally,
|
||||
These are features of EFI, not U-Boot.
|
||||
|
||||
Very little code is involved in implementing the EFI application feature.
|
||||
U-Boot is highly portable. Most of the difficulty is in modifying the
|
||||
Makefile settings to pass the right build flags. In particular there is very
|
||||
little x86-specific code involved - you can find most of it in
|
||||
arch/x86/cpu. Porting to ARM (which can also use EFI if you are brave
|
||||
enough) should be straightforward.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the 'reset' command to get back to EFI.
|
||||
|
||||
EFI Payload
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
The payload approach is a different kettle of fish. It works by building
|
||||
U-Boot exactly as normal for your target board, then adding the entire
|
||||
image (including device tree) into a small EFI stub application responsible
|
||||
for booting it. The stub application is built as a normal EFI application
|
||||
except that it has a lot of data attached to it.
|
||||
|
||||
The stub application is implemented in lib/efi/efi_stub.c. The efi_main()
|
||||
function is called by EFI. It is responsible for copying U-Boot from its
|
||||
original location into memory, disabling EFI boot services and starting
|
||||
U-Boot. U-Boot then starts as normal, relocates, starts all drivers, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
The stub application is architecture-dependent. At present it has some
|
||||
x86-specific code and a comment at the top of efi_stub.c describes this.
|
||||
|
||||
While the stub application does allocate some memory from EFI this is not
|
||||
used by U-Boot (the payload). In fact when U-Boot starts it has all of the
|
||||
memory available to it and can operate as it pleases (but see the next
|
||||
section).
|
||||
|
||||
Tables
|
||||
------
|
||||
The payload can pass information to U-Boot in the form of EFI tables. At
|
||||
present this feature is used to pass the EFI memory map, an inordinately
|
||||
large list of memory regions. You can use the 'efi mem all' command to
|
||||
display this list. U-Boot uses the list to work out where to relocate
|
||||
itself.
|
||||
|
||||
Although U-Boot can use any memory it likes, EFI marks some memory as used
|
||||
by 'run-time services', code that hangs around while U-Boot is running and
|
||||
is even present when Linux is running. This is common on x86 and provides
|
||||
a way for Linux to call back into the firmware to control things like CPU
|
||||
fan speed. U-Boot uses only 'conventional' memory, in EFI terminology. It
|
||||
will relocate itself to the top of the largest block of memory it can find
|
||||
below 4GB.
|
||||
|
||||
Interrupts
|
||||
----------
|
||||
U-Boot drivers typically don't use interrupts. Since EFI enables interrupts
|
||||
it is possible that an interrupt will fire that U-Boot cannot handle. This
|
||||
seems to cause problems. For this reason the U-Boot payload runs with
|
||||
interrupts disabled at present.
|
||||
|
||||
32/64-bit
|
||||
---------
|
||||
While the EFI application can in principle be built as either 32- or 64-bit,
|
||||
only 32-bit is currently supported. This means that the application can only
|
||||
be used with 32-bit EFI.
|
||||
|
||||
The payload stub can be build as either 32- or 64-bits. Only a small amount
|
||||
of code is built this way (see the extra- line in lib/efi/Makefile).
|
||||
Everything else is built as a normal U-Boot, so is always 32-bit on x86 at
|
||||
present.
|
||||
|
||||
Future work
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
This work could be extended in a number of ways:
|
||||
|
||||
- Add a generic x86 EFI payload configuration. At present you need to modify
|
||||
an existing one, but mostly the low-level x86 code is disabled when booting
|
||||
on EFI anyway, so a generic 'EFI' board could be created with a suitable set
|
||||
of drivers enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
- Add ARM support
|
||||
|
||||
- Add 64-bit application support
|
||||
|
||||
- Figure out how to solve the interrupt problem
|
||||
|
||||
- Add more drivers to the application side (e.g. video, block devices, USB,
|
||||
environment access). This would mostly be an academic exercise as a strong
|
||||
use case is not readily apparent, but it might be fun.
|
||||
|
||||
- Avoid turning off boot services in the stub. Instead allow U-Boot to make
|
||||
use of boot services in case it wants to. It is unclear what it might want
|
||||
though.
|
||||
|
||||
Where is the code?
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
lib/efi
|
||||
payload stub, application, support code. Mostly arch-neutral
|
||||
|
||||
arch/x86/lib/efi
|
||||
helper functions for the fake DRAM init, etc. These can be used by
|
||||
any board that runs as a payload.
|
||||
|
||||
arch/x86/cpu/efi
|
||||
x86 support code for running as an EFI application
|
||||
|
||||
board/efi/efi-x86/efi.c
|
||||
x86 board code for running as an EFI application
|
||||
|
||||
common/cmd_efi.c
