  68. if you have a function that takes const arguments and then
  69. e.g. tries to copy StrCmp, gcc will give you warnings about those
  70. calls, and the warnings are right. These clutter up other things
  71. you might miss that you should be more concered about.
  72. You could work around it through vigorous typecasting
  73. to non-const types, but why should you have to? All of these
  74. functions are regorously defined as not changing their input
  75. - it is const, and should be marked as such.

  100. Disable MMX and SSE
  101. GCC 4.8.0 adds some optimizations that will use movups/movaps (and use
  102. %xmm* registers) when they're faster, and of course that won't work at
  103. all since UEFI firmwares aren't guaranteed to initialize the mmx/sse
  104. instructions.
  105. This will be even more annoying, since most UEFI firmwares don't
  106. initialize the #DE or #UD trap handlers, and your backtrace will be a
  107. random path through uninitialized memory, occasionally including
  108. whatever address the IDT has for #UD, but also addresses like "0x4" and
  109. "0x507" that you don't normally expect to see in your call path.

  136. automatically determine number of uefi_call_wrapper() args on x86_64
  137. Instead of asking developers to explicitly pass the number of

  139. automatically at preprocessing time. This should result in more
  140. robust code.

  147. fix parameter-passing corruption on x86_64 for >= 5 args
  148. On x86_64 without HAVE_USE_MS_ABI support, uefi_call_wrapper() is a
  149. variadic function. Parameters >=5 are copied to the stack and, when
  150. passed small immediate values (and possibly other parameters), gcc
  151. would emit a movl instruction before calling uefi_call_wrapper(). As a
  152. result, only the lower 32b of these stack values are significant, the
  153. upper 32b potentially contain garbage. Considering that
  154. uefi_call_wrapper() assumes these arguments are clean 64b values
  155. before calling the efi_callX() trampolines, the latter may be passed
  156. garbage. This makes calling functions like
  157. EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL.Mem.Read()/Write() or BS->OpenProtocol() quite
  158. unreliable.
  159. This patch fixes this by turning uefi_call_wrapper() into a macro that
  160. allows to expose the efi_callX() trampoline signatures to the callers,
  161. so that gcc can know upfront that it has to pass all arguments to
  162. efi_callX() as clean 64b values (eg. movq for immediates). The
  163. _cast64_efi_callX macros are just here to avoid a gcc warning, they do
  164. nothing otherwise.

  167. Date: Wed May 15 15:26:16 2013 -0400
  168. - Removes the ElfW() macro usage from reloc_ia32.c and reloc_x86_64.c. These
  169. macros only exist in link.h on Linux. On FreeBSD, the equivalent macro is
  170. __ElfN(). But the macro usage is redundant. You're only going to compile the
  171. ia32 file for IA32 binaries and the x86_64 file for X64 binaries. If you had
  172. just one file built for both cases, then using the macro might make more
  173. sense.
  174. - Removes the "#define foo_t efi_foo_t" macros from reloc_ia32.c and
  175. reloc_x86_64.c.
  176. - Modifies inc/x86_64/efibind.h and inc/ia32/efibind.h to use the new
  177. definitions for uint64_t, int64_t and int8_t. The 64-bit types are now defined
  178. as:
  179. typedef int __attribute__((__mode__(__DI__))) int64_t;
  180. typedef unsigned int __attribute__((__mode__(__DI__))) uint64_t;
  181. This removes the conflict between the host types dragged in by elf.h and the
  182. type definitions in efibind.h that made the #define foo_t efi_foo_t" hack
  183. necessary. Also, int8_t is now defined as signed char instead of just char
  184. (assuming char == signed char is apparently not good enough).
  185. - Also modifies these files to use stdint.h instead of stdint-gcc.h. It's
  186. unclear if this is completely correct, but stdint-gcc.h is not present with
  187. all GCC installs, and if you use -std=c99 or later you will force this case to
  188. be hit. This also can break clang, which doesn't have a stdint-gcc.h at all.
  189. - Removes the #include of <link.h> from reloc_ia32.c and reloc_x86_64.c (since
  190. with the previous changes it's not needed anymore).
  191. - Places the #include of <elf.h> after #include <efi>/#include <efilib.h> so
  192. that we know the types will always be defined properly, in case you build on a
  193. system where <elf.h> doesn't automatically pull in the right header files to
  194. define all the needed types. (This actually happens on VxWorks. It's harmless
  195. elsewhere. If you don't care about VxWorks, you can leave this out.)
  196. - Modifies setjmp_ia32.S and setjmp_x86_64.S so to change "function" to
  197. @function. The clang compiler doesn't like the former. Clang and GCC both like
  198. the latter.
  199. - Modifles Make.defaults so that if ARCH is detected as "amd64," it's changed
  200. to "x86_64." It happens that uname -m on 64-bit FreeBSD reports the former
  201. rather than the latter, which breaks the build. This may also be the case on
  202. some other OSes. There's a way to force uname(1) to return x86_64 as the
  203. machine type, but this way is a little friendlier.
  204. - Creates gnuefi/elf_ia32_fbsd_efi.lds which specifies the object file type as
  205. elf-ia32-freebsd. This is required for building on FreeBSD/i386, not just
  206. FreeBSD/amd64.
  207. - Modifies apps/Makefile to always use
  208. $(TOPDIR)/gnuefi/elf_$(ARCH)_fbsd_efi.lds when building on either 32-bit or
  209. 64-bit FreeBSD instead of just for the x86_64 case.
  210. - Changed LDFLAGS in Make.defaults to include --no-undefined. This will cause
  211. linking to fail if there are any unsatisfied symbols when creating foo.so
  212. during any of the app builds, as opposed to just silently succeeding and
  213. producing an unusable binary.
  214. - Changed CFLAGS to include -ffreestanding -fno-stack-protector -fno-stack-
  215. check. This prevents clang from inserting a call to memset() when compiling
  216. the RtZeroMem() and RtSetMem() routines in lib/runtime/efirtlib.c and guards
  217. against the native compiler in some Linux distros from adding in stack
  218. checking code which relies on libc help that isn't present in the EFI runtime
  219. environment.
  220. This does the following:
  221. - Cleans up the ia32 and x86-64 relocation code a bit (tries to break the
  222. dependency between the host ELF headers and the EFI runtime environment)
  223. - Avoids the dependency on stdint-gcc.h which may not always be available
  224. - Allows GNU EFI to build out of the box on both FreeBSD/i386 and
  225. FreeBSD/amd64
  226. - Allows GNU EFI to build out of the box with either GCC or clang on
  227. FreeBSD/i386 and FreeBSD/amd64 9.0 and later.
  228. - Makes things a little easier to port to VxWorks
  229. - Avoids creating un-runable binaries with unresolved symbol definitions
  230. (which can be very confusing to debug)

  233. Add the definitions for TCP, UDP and IP, for both IPv4 and IPv6.

  235. * Chnage from Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>
  236. - Preparation for adding the networking protocol definitions.
  237. Add the service binding protocol.
  238. 2013-02-21 Nigel Croxon <nigel.croxon@hp.com>
  239. * Change from Peter Jones <pjones@redhat.com>
  240. - Previously we were incorrectly passing 3 functions with
  241. the System V ABI to UEFI functions as EFI ABI functions.
  242. Mark them as EFIAPI so the compiler will (in our new
  243. GNU_EFI_USE_MS_ABI world) use the correct ABI.
  244. - These need to be EFIAPI functions because in some cases
  245. they call ST->ConOut->OutputString(), which is an EFIAPI
  246. function. (Which means that previously in cases that
  247. needed "cdecl", these didn't work right.)
  248. - If the compiler version is new enough, and GNU_EFI_USE_MS_ABI
  249. is defined, use the function attribute ms_abi on everything
  250. defined with "EFIAPI". Such calls will no longer go through
  251. efi_call*, and as such will be properly type-checked.
  252. - Honor PREFIX and LIBDIR correctly when passed in during the build.
  253. - Add machine type defines for i386, arm/thumb, ia64, ebc, x86_64.
  254. - __STDC_VERSION__ never actually gets defined unless there's a
  255. --std=... line. So we were accidentally defining lots of c99
  256. types ourself. Since it's 2012, use --std=c11 where appropriate,
  257. and if it's defined and we're using gcc, actually include gcc's
  258. stdint definitions.
  259. - New test application added: route80h. This is a test program
  260. for PciIo. It routes ioport 80h on ICH10 to PCI. This is also
  261. useful on a very limited set of hardware to enable use of
  262. a port 80h debug card.
  263. - New test applcation added: modelist. This lists video modes
  264. the GOP driver is showing us.
  265. * Change from Finnbarr Murphy
  266. - https://sourceforge.net/p/gnu-efi/feature-requests/2/
  267. Please add the following status codes to <efierr.h>
  268. EFI_INCOMPATIBLE_VERSION 25
  269. EFI_SECURITY_VIOLATION 26
  270. EFI_CRC_ERROR 27
  271. EFI_END_OF_MEDIA 28
  272. EFI_END_OF_FILE 31
  273. EFI_INVALID_LANGUAGE 32
  274. EFI_COMPROMISED_DATA 33
  275. * Change from SourceForge.net Bug report
  276. - https://sourceforge.net/p/gnu-efi/bugs/5/
  277. BufferSize is a UINT64 *. The file shipped with GNU EFI is from
  278. 1998 whereas the latest one is from 2004. I suspect Intel changed
  279. the API in order handle 64-bit systems.
  280. * Change from Felipe Contreras <felipe.contreras@gmail.com>
  281. - The current code seems to screw the stack at certain points.
  282. Multiple people have complained that gummiboot hangs right away,
  283. which is in part the fault of gummiboot, but happens only
  284. because the stack gets screwed. x86_64 EFI already aligns the
  285. stack, so there's no need for so much code to find a proper
  286. alignment, we always need to shift by 8 anyway.
  287. * Change from A. Steinmetz
  288. - https://sourceforge.net/p/gnu-efi/patches/1/
  289. The patch prepares for elilo to support uefi pxe over ipv6
  290. See uefi spec 2.3.1 errata c page 963 as reference.

  294. 2012-09-21 Nigel Croxon <nigel.croxon@hp.com>
  295. * Change from Peter Jones <pjones@redhat.com>
  296. - EFI Block I/O protocol versions 2 and 3 provide more information
  297. regarding physical disk layout, including alingment offset at the
  298. beginning of the disk ("LowestAlignedLba"), logical block size
  299. ("LogicalBlocksPerPhysicalBlock"), and optimal block transfer size
  300. ("OptimalTransferLengthGranularity").
  301. * Release 3.0r
  302. 2012-04-30 Nigel Croxon <nigel.croxon@hp.com>
  303. * Change from Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com>
  304. - The .reloc section is now 4096-byte boundary for x86_64.
  305. Without this patch the .reloc section will not adhere to
  306. the alignment value in the FileAlignment field (512 bytes by
  307. default) of the PE/COFF header. This results in a signed
  308. executable failing to boot in a secure boot environment.
  309. * Release 3.0q
  310. 2011-12-12 Nigel Croxon <nigel.croxon@hp.com>

  325. 2011-07-22 Nigel Croxon <nigel.croxon@hp.com>
  326. * Changed Makefiles from GPL to BSD.
  327. * Changes from Peter Jones <pjones@redhat.com>
  328. - Add ifdefs for ia64 to mirror ia32 and x86-64 so that
  329. one can build with GCC.
  330. - Add headers for PciIo.
  331. - Add the UEFI 2.x bits for EFI_BOOT_SERVICES
  332. - Add an ignore for .note.GNU-stack section in X86-64 linker maps.

  390. 2001-06-20 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
  391. * release 3.0
  392. * split gnu-efi package in two different packages: the libary+include+crt and the bootloader.
  393. * removed W2U() hack and related files to get from wide-char to unicode.

  398. to get the package to compile for IA-32 linux target.
  399. * Fixed ELILO to compile for Ia-32 (does not execute yet, though):
  400. Makefile and start_kernel() function.
  401. 2001-04-06 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
  402. * Fixed config.c to
  403. get the timeout directive to do something. implemented the global

  405. * Fix the efi_main() to deal with the -C option properly
  406. 2001-04-05 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
  407. * update efi library to latest EFI toolkit 1.02 as distributed
  408. by Intel. Fixed header + library files to compile with GCC
  409. * merged ELI and LILO (as of gnu-efi-1.1) together, mostly
  410. taking the config file feature of ELI.
  411. * renamed LILO to ELILO to make the distinction
  412. * restructured code to make it easier to understand and maintain
  413. * fixed FPSWA driver checking and loading: we try all possible
  414. files and let the driver itself figure out if it is the most
  415. recent.
  416. * added support for compression (gzip) but keep support for plain
  417. ELF image. ELILO autodetects the format
  418. * change the way the kernel is invoked. Now we call it in
  419. physical memory mode. This breaks the dependency between the
  420. kernel code and the loader. No more lilo_start.c madness.
  421. * changed the way the boot_params are passed. We don't use the
  422. ZERO_PAGE_ADDR trick anymore. Instead we use EFI runtime memory.
  423. The address of the structure is passed to the kernel in r28
  424. by our convention.
  425. * released as gnu-efi-2.0
  426. 2001-04-03 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
  427. * gnuefi/reloc_ia32.c (_relocate): Change return type from "void"

  429. reason.
  430. * gnuefi/elf_ia32_efi.lds: Drop unneeded ".rel.reloc" section.
  431. * gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia32.S (_start): Exit if _relocate() returns with
  432. non-zero exit status.
  433. * inc/ia32/efibind.h [__GNUC__]: Force 8-byte alignment for 64-bit
  434. types as that is what EFI appears to be expecting, despite the
  435. "#pragma pack()" at the beginning of the file!
  436. 2001-03-29 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
  437. * gnuefi/reloc_ia32.c: Add a couple of defines to work around
  438. libc/efilib collision on uint64_t et al.
  439. (_relocate): Use ELF32_R_TYPE() instead of ELFW(R_TYPE)().
  440. * gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia32.S (dummy): Add a dummy relocation entry.
  441. 2001-03-29 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>

  447. * gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Mention .rela.sdata.
  448. * Make.defaults (CFLAGS): Remove -nostdinc flags so we can pick
  449. up the C compiler's stdarg.h.
  450. * inc/stdarg.h: Remove this file. It's not correct for gcc (nor
  451. most other optimizing compilers).
  452. 2000-10-10 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
  453. * cleaned up the error message and printing of those.
  454. * added support to load the FPSWA from a file in case support is not
  455. present in the firmware already
  456. * fixed split_args() to do the right thing when you have leading spaces
  457. before kernel name
  458. * changed the argify() function to rely on \0 instead of LoadOptionSize
  459. as the field seems to be broken with current firmware
  460. * bumped version to 1.0
  461. 2000-10-04 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
  462. * gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S: Reserve space for up to 750 function descriptors.
  463. * gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Add .sdata section for small data and
  464. put __gp in the "middle" of it.
  465. * gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia64.S (_start): Use movl/add to load
  466. gp-relative addresses that could be out of the range of the addl
  467. offset.
  468. * gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S (_relocate): Ditto.
  469. * apps/Makefile: Remove standard rules and include Make.rules instead.
  470. * lilo/Makefile: Ditto.
  471. * Make.rules: New file.
  472. 2000-08-04 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
  473. * released version 0.9
  474. * incorporated ACPI changes for Asuza by NEC < kouchi@hpc.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp>
  475. * added support for initrd (-i option) original ELI code from Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com>)
  476. * lots of cleanups
  477. * got rid of #ifdef LILO_DEBUG and uses macro instead
  478. * fix a few extra memory leaks in create_boot_params()
  479. * added exit capability just before starting the kernel
  480. 2000-06-22 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
  481. * gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Add .srodata, .ctors, .IA64.unwind,
  482. .IA64.unwind_info to .data section and .rela.ctors to .rela
  483. section.
  484. 2000-04-03 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
  485. * lilo/lilo.c (LILO_VERSION): Up version number to 0.9.
  486. * gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Include .IA_64.unwind and
  487. .IA_64.unwind_info in .data segment to avoid EFI load error
  488. "ImageAddress: pointer outside of image" error due to the .dynsym
  489. relocations against these sections.
  490. * ChangeLog: Moved from lilo/ChangeLogs.
  491. * gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S: fixed typo: .space directive had constant
  492. 100 hardcoded instead of using MAX_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTORS
  493. macro. Duh.
  494. Fri Mar 17 15:19:18 PST 2000 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
