[efi] Add EFI image format and basic runtime environment

2008-10-13T09:24:14+00:00

We have EFI APIs for CPU I/O, PCI I/O, timers, console I/O, user access and user memory allocation. EFI executables are created using the vanilla GNU toolchain, with the EXE header handcrafted in assembly and relocations generated by a custom efilink utility.

[makefile] Reduce verbosity of various NON_AUTO_MEDIA rules

[util] Don't die on undefined symbols in sortobjdump.pl

2008-10-10T02:42:22+00:00

Undefined symbols shouldn't reach sortobjdump.pl, but if they do then it is not a helpful place to report the error.

[util] Add optional debug messages to zbin.c

2008-10-10T02:42:08+00:00

[makefile] Split config.h out into config/*.h and kill off mkconfig.pl

2008-10-08T01:17:32+00:00

[util] Avoid calling fclose(NULL) in zbin.c

2008-09-04T10:29:37+00:00

Must check that argument to a fclose() is not NULL -- we can get to the 'err' label when file was not opened. fclose(NULL) is known to produce core dump on some platforms and we don't want zbin to fail so loudly. Signed-off-by: Eygene Ryabinkin

[util] Fix interpretation of short jumps in Option::ROM

2008-08-27T19:36:30+00:00

Option::ROM was assuming that ROM images using a short jump instruction for the init entry point would have a zero byte at offset 5; this is not necessarily true.

[util] Allow Option::ROM to understand and modify initialisation entry point

2008-08-15T03:10:35+00:00

Add support for manipulating the jump instruction that forms the option ROM initialisation entry point, so that mergerom.pl can treat it just like other entry points. Add support for merging the initialisation entry point (and IBM BOFM table) to mergerom.pl; this is another slightly icky but unfortunately necessary GPL vs. NDA workaround. When mergerom.pl replaces an entry point in the original ROM, it now fills in the corresponding entry point in the merged ROM with the original value; this allows (for example) a merged initialisation entry point to do some processing and then jump back to the original entry point.

[util] Add mergerom.pl

This utility is required as a workaround for legal restrictions on including GPL and non-GPL code within the same expansion ROM image. While this is not encouraged, we are prepared to accept that concatenation of ROM images and updating of the ROM header data structures can be classed as "mere aggregation" within the terms of the GPL. If in any doubt, assume that you cannot include GPL and non-GPL code within the same expansion ROM image. Contact the Etherboot team for clarification on your specific circumstances.

[util] Add Option::ROM library and rewrite disrom.pl to use it.

2008-07-31T04:30:04+00:00

The Option::ROM module provides an easy way to read and edit fields within option ROM headers.
