[RFC PATCH 1/1] efi_loader: get rid of ad-hoc EFI subsystem init
Up to now the EFI subsystem was left out of the main U-Boot init process. This has led to various hacks over the years, with the most notable one being sprinkling around the efi init call to various places such as U-Boot commands, the early boot code etc.
Since EFI has it's own Kconfig option and people can remove it, let's wire up the EFI init call on an event for EVT_MAIN_LOOP.
This will also get rid of ad-hoc code in the main event loop, which was trying to initialize the subsystem early and perform capsule updates.
TODO: - The efi_tcg protocol implicitly initializes the TPM, as a result some of the tpm selftests will fail with the RFC. If everyone agrees that this is a good idea, I'll clean up the TPM hacks as well - We still need to run capsule updates on the main_loop() code since in some cases (e.g sandbox) we need preboot commands. - wider tests, I've only run QEMU for now

In case of efi_init_obj_list() failing we should still reach the U-Boot console but each of the EFI commands should abort early.
Please, put the Kconfig related capsule change into a separate patch.
Otherwise looks good to me.
Best regards

I am OK with this change too.
Two points from my side:
1. The main loop capsule update is (still) a mistake, unfortunately. It should be a command which is run on boot. For sandbox testing, that command should be run *without* rebooting. I am sure I asked for that at the time but for various reasons it didn't happen. Please can you make that change also?
2. EFI should not be maintaining its own separate data structures, but should keep them attached to driver model. They should be created as needed, dynamically, not all at the start. Is anyone looking at this? I am happy to help suggest initial target for this refactoring.
Regards, Simon

- We still need to run capsule updates on the main_loop() code since in some cases (e.g sandbox) we need preboot commands.
- wider tests, I've only run QEMU for now

In case of efi_init_obj_list() failing we should still reach the U-Boot console but each of the EFI commands should abort early.
Please, put the Kconfig related capsule change into a separate patch.
Otherwise looks good to me.
I am OK with this change too.
Two points from my side:
- The main loop capsule update is (still) a mistake, unfortunately.
It should be a command which is run on boot. For sandbox testing, that command should be run *without* rebooting. I am sure I asked for that
Capsule updates must run outside of any command as this is required by the UEFI specification.
Capsule updates require a reboot and the sandbox must behave as a regular system so that we can run the same tests on all systems.
at the time but for various reasons it didn't happen. Please can you make that change also?
- EFI should not be maintaining its own separate data structures, but
should keep them attached to driver model. They should be created as needed, dynamically, not all at the start. Is anyone looking at this? I am happy to help suggest initial target for this refactoring.
We have started with such a link for block devices. Once those block devices are really UEFI compliant we should refactor the other devices currently supported by EFI sub-system:
UART, network, RNG, video, TPM.
Some initialization like setting up UEFI variables will not have any equivalence in the driver model.
Best regards

Since EFI has it's own Kconfig option and people can remove it, let's wire up the EFI init call on an event for EVT_MAIN_LOOP.
This will also get rid of ad-hoc code in the main event loop, which was trying to initialize the subsystem early and perform capsule updates.

What do you mean? Does the specification mention U-Boot commands?

How can I get you past this thinking? We need to 'design for test'. The current test is a mess, sorry. Perhaps we could have a call to go through it?

One way to handle that is to:

Yes it's still a mistake but we can't get rid of it easily. What I was going to try is add another event notifier which would run post boot. That would work and allow us to define events, after the preboot commands have executed.
Simon there *is* a command do that. It's documented in [0]. The tl;dr is run: => efidebug boot add 0 Boot0000 virtio 0:1 <capsule_file_name> => efidebug boot next 0 => setenv -e -nv -bs -rt -v OsIndications =0x0000000000000004 => efidebug capsule disk-update
The command exists for testing, but as Heinrich explains, we also need to test the automatic upgrade after a reboot since that's what the EFI specification expects.
What do you mean? Does the specification mention U-Boot commands?

This patch doesn't change anything wrt to structures or how it interacts with DM. That's a different topic, but since there has been no progress apart from block devices for a while, I'll start looking into it myself. FWIW I agree we should refactor the protocol registration and match what U-Boot does with the rest of the DM.

Regards, Simon
Can we do this is small steps since I prefer testing everything thoroughly and making sure the EFI init doesn't break? So my plan is to resend this, fixing any TPM selftest regressions and then start cleaning up the protocol registration.

I don't think it's a mistake. When I implemented the feature, update_tftp() was already placed in the main loop. I followed this tradition.
going to try is add another event notifier which would run post boot. That would work and allow us to define events, after the preboot commands have executed.
It's an idea, but it's a matter of machanism, but not a matter of timing.
