efi: Add EFI file I/O data types

2011-12-10T01:35:51Z

The x86 EFI stub needs to access files, for example when loading initrd's. Add the required data types. Cc: Matthew Garrett Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1318848017-12301-1-git-send-email-matt@console-pimps.org Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin

efi.h: Add boottime->locate_handle search types

2011-12-10T01:35:49Z

efi.h: Add allocation types for boottime->allocate_pages()

2011-12-10T01:35:44Z

Add the allocation types detailed in section 6.2 - "AllocatePages()" of the UEFI 2.3 specification. These definitions will be used by the x86 EFI boot stub which needs to allocate memory during boot.

efi.h: Add efi_image_loaded_t

2011-12-10T01:35:42Z

Add the EFI loaded image structure and protocol guid which are required by the x86 EFI boot stub. The EFI boot stub uses the structure to figure out where it was loaded in memory and to pass command line arguments to the kernel.

efi.h: Add struct definition for boot time services

2011-12-10T01:35:40Z

With the forthcoming efi stub code we're gonna need to access boot time services so let's define a struct so we can access the functions.

Merge branch 'pstore-efi' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6

2011-08-01T23:40:51Z

* 'pstore-efi' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6: efivars: Introduce PSTORE_EFI_ATTRIBUTES efivars: Use string functions in pstore_write efivars: introduce utf16_strncmp efivars: String functions efi: Add support for using efivars as a pstore backend pstore: Allow the user to explicitly choose a backend pstore: Make "part" unsigned pstore: Add extra context for writes and erases pstore: Extend API for more flexibility in new backends

efi: Add support for using efivars as a pstore backend

2011-07-22T23:15:04Z

EFI provides an area of nonvolatile storage managed by the firmware. We can use this as a pstore backend to maintain copies of oopses, aiding diagnosis. Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

x86, efi: Add infrastructure for UEFI 2.0 runtime services

2011-06-06T20:30:30Z

We're currently missing support for any of the runtime service calls introduced with the UEFI 2.0 spec in 2006. Add the infrastructure for supporting them. Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1307388985-7852-2-git-send-email-mjg@redhat.com Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin
