Unfortunately something in this patch series breaks things for me on a Banana Pi:
And according to git bisect:
4e3e748a50fc3f43e20c7ff407184596d7c9a589 is the first bad commit commit 4e3e748a50fc3f43e20c7ff407184596d7c9a589 Author: Peter Jones pjones@redhat.com Date: Wed Jun 21 16:39:02 2017 -0400
efi: add some more device path structures Signed-off-by: Peter Jones <pjones@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rob Clark <robdclark@gmail.com>hmm, odd.. it is only adding some #define's and structs that are not used until a later commit..
although it does also make 'struct efi_device_path_mac_addr' __packed, which it should have been before. Is this an armv7? I wonder if we have some troubles with unaligned accesses on armv7 that we don't have on aarch64 (or maybe compiler isn't turning access to device-path nodes into byte accesses if it can't do unaligned accesses. (The node in the device-path structure are byte-packed.)
This is indeed armv7.
addr2line the faulting address I guess should confirm that. If this is the issue, it's going to be a bit sad since we'll have to do a lot of copying back/forth of efi_device_path ptrs to aligned addresses :-/
Sadly that's not going to help you:
$ arm-none-eabi-addr2line -e u-boot 7ef8d878 ??:0
I suppose it is faulting somewhere in BOOTARM.EFI,
Anyway, removing __packed from struct efi_device_path_file_path makes me boot again with a tree checked out out with that commit.
Our bootloader code doesn't explicitly enable alignment faults. But of course the UEFI standard says that for AArc32 platforms:
* Unaligned access should be enabled if supported; Alignment faults are enabled otherwise.
So the efi_loader code has to align things properly I fear.
