This patch set is motivated by the discussion[1] regarding CONFIG_BOOTEFI_BOOTMGR option.
# This version (v4) contains only the remaining commits.
At the end, bootefi.c will be decomposed into two parts, one for providing the command itself and one for implementing helper functions. EFI_LOADER will now be available without CONFIG_CMDLINE or specifically CONFIG_CMD_BOOTEFI if invoked via bootmeth/bootstd.
Then, EFI_LOADER library side will be further split into two options for fine-grain control: CONFIG_EFI_BINARY_EXEC: execute UEFI binaries which are to be explicitly loaded by U-Boot's load commands/functions or other methods (like a jtag debugger?) It supports bootmeth_efi as well as "bootefi <addr>|hello"(/"bootm"?).
CONFIG_EFI_BOOTMGR: provide EFI boot manger functionality It supports bootmeth_efi_mgr as well as "bootefi bootmgr".
As such, We will no longer need CONFIG_EFI_BINARY_EXEC if we want to only make use of the UEFI boot manger for booting a next stage OS.
Prerequisite ============ This patch set is based on top of the latest "master" branch.
Tests ===== * ran and passed py/efi_selftest on sandbox locally (I saw an error in tcg2 though) * ran and passed py/test_efi_bootmgr on sandbox locally * passed CI check (github pull request)
Changes ======= v4 (Jan 10, 2024) * rebased onto the latest master branch * moved binary execution portion of code (EFI_BINARY_EXEC) to a new file, efi_bootbin.c, instead of efi_helper.c (patch#1)
v3 (Dec 18, 2023) * rebased onto Tom's latest next branch * remove already-merged commits
v2 (Nov 21, 2023) * rebased onto Tom's next branch * remove already merged commits * revise commit messages * add patch #5 which was split from ex-patch#5 RFC (Oct 26, 2023)
