UEFI on U-Boot
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface Specification (UEFI) [1] has become
|
|
the default for booting on AArch64 and x86 systems. It provides a stable API for
|
|
the interaction of drivers and applications with the firmware. The API comprises
|
|
access to block storage, network, and console to name a few. The Linux kernel
|
|
and boot loaders like GRUB or the FreeBSD loader can be executed.
|
|
|
|
Development target
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The implementation of UEFI in U-Boot strives to reach the requirements described
|
|
in the "Embedded Base Boot Requirements (EBBR) Specification - Release v2.1.0"
|
|
[2]. The "Server Base Boot Requirements System Software on ARM Platforms" [3]
|
|
describes a superset of the EBBR specification and may be used as further
|
|
reference.
|
|
|
|
A full blown UEFI implementation would contradict the U-Boot design principle
|
|
"keep it small".
|
|
|
|
Building U-Boot for UEFI
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
The UEFI standard supports only little-endian systems. The UEFI support can be
|
|
activated for ARM and x86 by specifying::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_CMD_BOOTEFI=y
|
|
CONFIG_EFI_LOADER=y
|
|
|
|
in the .config file.
|
|
|
|
Support for attaching virtual block devices, e.g. iSCSI drives connected by the
|
|
loaded UEFI application [4], requires::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_BLK=y
|
|
CONFIG_PARTITIONS=y
|
|
|
|
Executing a UEFI binary
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The bootefi command is used to start UEFI applications or to install UEFI
|
|
drivers. It takes two parameters::
|
|
|
|
bootefi <image address> [fdt address]
|
|
|
|
* image address - the memory address of the UEFI binary
|
|
* fdt address - the memory address of the flattened device tree
|
|
|
|
Below you find the output of an example session starting GRUB::
|
|
|
|
=> load mmc 0:2 ${fdt_addr_r} boot/dtb
|
|
29830 bytes read in 14 ms (2 MiB/s)
|
|
=> load mmc 0:1 ${kernel_addr_r} efi/debian/grubaa64.efi
|
|
reading efi/debian/grubaa64.efi
|
|
120832 bytes read in 7 ms (16.5 MiB/s)
|
|
=> bootefi ${kernel_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r}
|
|
|
|
When booting from a memory location it is unknown from which file it was loaded.
|
|
Therefore the bootefi command uses the device path of the block device partition
|
|
or the network adapter and the file name of the most recently loaded PE-COFF
|
|
file when setting up the loaded image protocol.
|
|
|
|
Launching a UEFI binary from a FIT image
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
A signed FIT image can be used to securely boot a UEFI image via the
|
|
bootm command. This feature is available if U-Boot is configured with::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_BOOTM_EFI=y
|
|
|
|
A sample configuration is provided as file doc/uImage.FIT/uefi.its.
|
|
|
|
Below you find the output of an example session starting GRUB::
|
|
|
|
=> load mmc 0:1 ${kernel_addr_r} image.fit
|
|
4620426 bytes read in 83 ms (53.1 MiB/s)
|
|
=> bootm ${kernel_addr_r}#config-grub-nofdt

Configuring UEFI secure boot
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The UEFI specification[1] defines a secure way of executing UEFI images
|
|
by verifying a signature (or message digest) of image with certificates.
|
|
This feature on U-Boot is enabled with::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_EFI_SECURE_BOOT=y
|
|
|
|
To make the boot sequence safe, you need to establish a chain of trust;
|
|
In UEFI secure boot the chain trust is defined by the following UEFI variables
|
|
|
|
* PK - Platform Key
|
|
* KEK - Key Exchange Keys
|
|
* db - white list database
|
|
* dbx - black list database
|
|
|
|
An in depth description of UEFI secure boot is beyond the scope of this
|
|
document. Please, refer to the UEFI specification and available online
|
|
documentation. Here is a simple example that you can follow for your initial
|
|
attempt (Please note that the actual steps will depend on your system and
|
|
environment.):
|
|
|
|
Install the required tools on your host
|
|
|
|
* openssl
|
|
* efitools
|
|
* sbsigntool
|
|
|
|
Create signing keys and the key database on your host:
|
|
|
|
The platform key
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
openssl req -x509 -sha256 -newkey rsa:2048 -subj /CN=TEST_PK/ \
|
|
-keyout PK.key -out PK.crt -nodes -days 365
|
|
cert-to-efi-sig-list -g 11111111-2222-3333-4444-123456789abc \
|
|
PK.crt PK.esl;
|
|
sign-efi-sig-list -c PK.crt -k PK.key PK PK.esl PK.auth
|
|
|
|
The key exchange keys
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
openssl req -x509 -sha256 -newkey rsa:2048 -subj /CN=TEST_KEK/ \
|
|
-keyout KEK.key -out KEK.crt -nodes -days 365
|
|
cert-to-efi-sig-list -g 11111111-2222-3333-4444-123456789abc \
|
|
KEK.crt KEK.esl
|
|
sign-efi-sig-list -c PK.crt -k PK.key KEK KEK.esl KEK.auth
|
|
|
|
The whitelist database
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
openssl req -x509 -sha256 -newkey rsa:2048 -subj /CN=TEST_db/ \
|
|
-keyout db.key -out db.crt -nodes -days 365
|
|
cert-to-efi-sig-list -g 11111111-2222-3333-4444-123456789abc \
|
|
db.crt db.esl
|
|
sign-efi-sig-list -c KEK.crt -k KEK.key db db.esl db.auth
|
|
|
|
Copy the \*.auth files to media, say mmc, that is accessible from U-Boot.
|
|
|
|
Sign an image with one of the keys in "db" on your host
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
sbsign --key db.key --cert db.crt helloworld.efi
|
|
|
|
Now in U-Boot install the keys on your board::
|
|
|
|
fatload mmc 0:1 <tmpaddr> PK.auth
|
|
setenv -e -nv -bs -rt -at -i <tmpaddr>:$filesize PK
|
|
fatload mmc 0:1 <tmpaddr> KEK.auth
|
|
setenv -e -nv -bs -rt -at -i <tmpaddr>:$filesize KEK
|
|
fatload mmc 0:1 <tmpaddr> db.auth
|
|
setenv -e -nv -bs -rt -at -i <tmpaddr>:$filesize db
|
|
|
|
Set up boot parameters on your board::
|
|
|
|
efidebug boot add -b 1 HELLO mmc 0:1 /helloworld.efi.signed ""
|
|
|
|
Since kernel 5.7 there's an alternative way of loading an initrd using
|
|
LoadFile2 protocol if CONFIG_EFI_LOAD_FILE2_INITRD is enabled.
|
|
The initrd path can be specified with::
|
|
|
|
efidebug boot add -b ABE0 'kernel' mmc 0:1 Image -i mmc 0:1 initrd
|
|
|
|
Now your board can run the signed image via the boot manager (see below).
|
|
You can also try this sequence by running Pytest, test_efi_secboot,
|
|
on the sandbox
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
cd <U-Boot source directory>
|
|
pytest.py test/py/tests/test_efi_secboot/test_signed.py --bd sandbox
|
|
|
|
UEFI binaries may be signed by Microsoft using the following certificates:
|
|
|
|
* KEK: Microsoft Corporation KEK CA 2011
|
|
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=321185.
|
|
* db: Microsoft Windows Production PCA 2011
|
|
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=321192.
|
|
* db: Microsoft Corporation UEFI CA 2011
|
|
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=321194.
|
|
|
|
Using OP-TEE for EFI variables
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Instead of implementing UEFI variable services inside U-Boot they can
|
|
also be provided in the secure world by a module for OP-TEE[1]. The
|
|
interface between U-Boot and OP-TEE for variable services is enabled by
|
|
CONFIG_EFI_MM_COMM_TEE=y.
|
|
|
|
Tianocore EDK II's standalone management mode driver for variables can
|
|
be linked to OP-TEE for this purpose. This module uses the Replay
|
|
Protected Memory Block (RPMB) of an eMMC device for persisting
|
|
non-volatile variables. When calling the variable services via the
|
|
OP-TEE API U-Boot's OP-TEE supplicant relays calls to the RPMB driver
|
|
which has to be enabled via CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB=y.

|
|
Enabling UEFI Capsule Update feature
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Support has been added for the UEFI capsule update feature which
|
|
enables updating the U-Boot image using the UEFI firmware management
|
|
protocol (FMP). The capsules are not passed to the firmware through
|
|
the UpdateCapsule runtime service. Instead, capsule-on-disk
|
|
functionality is used for fetching capsules from the EFI System
|
|
Partition (ESP) by placing capsule files under the directory::
|
|
|
|
\EFI\UpdateCapsule
|
|
|
|
The directory is checked for capsules only within the
|
|
EFI system partition on the device specified in the active boot option,
|
|
which is determined by BootXXXX variable in BootNext, or if not, the highest
|
|
priority one within BootOrder. Any BootXXXX variables referring to devices
|
|
not present are ignored when determining the active boot option.
|
|
|
|
Please note that capsules will be applied in the alphabetic order of
|
|
capsule file names.
|
|
|
|
Creating a capsule file
|
|
***********************
|
|
|
|
A capsule file can be created by using tools/mkeficapsule.
|
|
To build this tool, enable::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_TOOLS_MKEFICAPSULE=y
|
|
CONFIG_TOOLS_LIBCRYPTO=y
|
|
|
|
Run the following command
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ mkeficapsule \
|
|
--index <index> --instance 0 \
|
|
--guid <image GUID> \
|
|
<capsule_file_name>
|
|
|
|
Capsule with firmware version
|
|
*****************************
|
|
|
|
The UEFI specification does not define the firmware versioning mechanism.
|
|
EDK II reference implementation inserts the FMP Payload Header right before
|
|
the payload. It coutains the fw_version and lowest supported version,
|
|
EDK II reference implementation uses these information to implement the
|
|
firmware versioning and anti-rollback protection, the firmware version and
|
|
lowest supported version is stored into EFI non-volatile variable.
|
|
|
|
In U-Boot, the firmware versioning is implemented utilizing
|
|
the FMP Payload Header same as EDK II reference implementation,
|
|
reads the FMP Payload Header and stores the firmware version into
|
|
"FmpStateXXXX" EFI non-volatile variable. XXXX indicates the image index,
|
|
since FMP protocol handles multiple image indexes.
|
|
|
|
To add the fw_version into the FMP Payload Header,
|
|
add --fw-version option in mkeficapsule tool.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ mkeficapsule \
|
|
--index <index> --instance 0 \
|
|
--guid <image GUID> \
|
|
--fw-version 5 \
|
|
<capsule_file_name>
|
|
|
|
If the --fw-version option is not set, FMP Payload Header is not inserted
|
|
and fw_version is set as 0.
|
|
|
|
Capsule Generation through binman
|
|
*********************************
|
|
|
|
Support has also been added to generate capsules during U-Boot build
|
|
through binman. This requires the platform's DTB to be populated with
|
|
the capsule entry nodes for binman. The capsules then can be generated
|
|
by specifying the capsule parameters as properties in the capsule
|
|
entry node.
|
|
|
|
Check the test/py/tests/test_efi_capsule/capsule_gen_binman.dts file
|
|
as reference for how a typical binman node for capsule generation
|
|
looks like. For generating capsules as part of the platform's build, a
|
|
capsule node would then have to be included into the platform's
|
|
devicetree.
|
|
|
|
A typical binman node for generating a capsule would look like::
|
|
|
|
capsule {
|
|
filename = "u-boot.capsule";
|
|
efi-capsule {
|
|
image-index = <0x1>;
|
|
image-guid = "09d7cf52-0720-4710-91d1-08469b7fe9c8";
|
|
|
|
u-boot {
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
In the above example, a capsule file named u-boot.capsule will be
|
|
generated with u-boot.bin as it's input payload. The capsule
|
|
generation parameters like image-index and image-guid are being
|
|
specified as properties. Similarly, other properties like the private
|
|
and public key certificate can be specified for generating signed
|
|
capsules. Refer :ref:`etype_efi_capsule` for documentation about the
|
|
efi-capsule binman entry type, which describes all the properties that
|
|
can be specified.
|
|
|
|
Performing the update
|
|
*********************
|
|
|
|
Put capsule files under the directory mentioned above.
|
|
Then, following the UEFI specification, you'll need to set
|
|
the EFI_OS_INDICATIONS_FILE_CAPSULE_DELIVERY_SUPPORTED
|
|
bit in OsIndications variable with
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
=> setenv -e -nv -bs -rt -v OsIndications =0x0000000000000004
|
|
|
|
Since U-Boot doesn't currently support SetVariable at runtime, its value
|
|
won't be taken over across the reboot. If this is the case, you can skip
|
|
this feature check with the Kconfig option (CONFIG_EFI_IGNORE_OSINDICATIONS)
|
|
set.
|
|
|
|
A few values need to be defined in the board file for performing the
|
|
capsule update. These values are defined in the board file by
|
|
initialisation of a structure which provides information needed for
|
|
capsule updates. The following structures have been defined for
|
|
containing the image related information
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
struct efi_fw_image {
|
|
efi_guid_t image_type_id;
|
|
u16 *fw_name;
|
|
u8 image_index;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
struct efi_capsule_update_info {
|
|
const char *dfu_string;
|
|
struct efi_fw_image *images;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
|
|
A string is defined which is to be used for populating the
|
|
dfu_alt_info variable. This string is used by the function
|
|
set_dfu_alt_info. Instead of taking the variable from the environment,
|
|
the capsule update feature requires that the variable be set through
|
|
the function, since that is more robust. Allowing the user to change
|
|
the location of the firmware updates is not a very secure
|
|
practice. Getting this information from the firmware itself is more
|
|
secure, assuming the firmware has been verified by a previous stage
|
|
boot loader.
|
|
|
|
The firmware images structure defines the GUID values, image index
|
|
values and the name of the images that are to be updated through
|
|
the capsule update feature. These values are to be defined as part of
|
|
an array. These GUID values would be used by the Firmware Management
|
|
Protocol(FMP) to populate the image descriptor array and also
|
|
displayed as part of the ESRT table. The image index values defined in
|
|
the array should be one greater than the dfu alt number that
|
|
corresponds to the firmware image. So, if the dfu alt number for an
|
|
image is 2, the value of image index in the fw_images array for that
|
|
image should be 3. The dfu alt number can be obtained by running the
|
|
following command::
|
|
|
|
dfu list
|
|
|
|
When the FWU Multi Bank Update feature is enabled on the platform, the
|
|
image index is used only to identify the image index with the image
|
|
GUID. The image index would not correspond to the dfu alt number. This
|
|
is because the FWU feature supports multiple partitions(banks) of
|
|
updatable images, and the actual dfu alt number to which the image is
|
|
to be written to is determined at runtime, based on the value of the
|
|
update bank to which the image is to be written. For more information
|
|
on the FWU Multi Bank Update feature, please refer to
|
|
:doc:`/develop/uefi/fwu_updates`.
|
|
|
|
When using the FMP for FIT images, the image index value needs to be
|
|
set to 1.
|
|
|
|
Finally, the capsule update can be initiated by rebooting the board.
|
|
|
|
An example of setting the values in the struct efi_fw_image and
|
|
struct efi_capsule_update_info is shown below
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
struct efi_fw_image fw_images[] = {
|
|
{
|
|
.image_type_id = DEVELOPERBOX_UBOOT_IMAGE_GUID,
|
|
.fw_name = u"DEVELOPERBOX-UBOOT",
|
|
.image_index = 1,
|
|

|
.image_index = 2,
|
|
},
|

"fip.bin raw 180000 78000;"
|
|
"optee.bin raw 500000 100000",
|
|
.images = fw_images,
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
Platforms must declare a variable update_info of type struct
|
|
efi_capsule_update_info as shown in the example above. The platform
|
|
will also define a fw_images array which contains information of all
|
|
the firmware images that are to be updated through capsule update
|
|
mechanism. The dfu_string is the string that is to be set as
|
|
dfu_alt_info. In the example above, the image index to be set for
|
|
u-boot.bin binary is 0x1, for fip.bin is 0x2 and for optee.bin is 0x3.
|
|
|
|
As an example, for generating the capsule for the optee.bin image, the
|
|
following command can be issued
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ ./tools/mkeficapsule \
|
|
--index 0x3 --instance 0 \
|
|
--guid c1b629f1-ce0e-4894-82bf-f0a38387e630 \
|
|
optee.bin optee.capsule
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enabling Capsule Authentication
|
|
*******************************
|
|
|
|
The UEFI specification defines a way of authenticating the capsule to
|
|
be updated by verifying the capsule signature. The capsule signature
|
|
is computed and prepended to the capsule payload at the time of
|
|
capsule generation. This signature is then verified by using the
|
|
public key stored as part of the X509 certificate. This certificate is
|
|
in the form of an efi signature list (esl) file, which is embedded in
|
|
a device tree.
|
|
|
|
The capsule authentication feature can be enabled through the
|
|
following config, in addition to the configs listed above for capsule
|
|
update::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_AUTHENTICATE=y
|
|
|
|
The public and private keys used for the signing process are generated
|
|
and used by the steps highlighted below.
|
|
|
|
1. Install utility commands on your host
|
|
* openssl
|
|
* efitools
|
|
|
|
2. Create signing keys and certificate files on your host
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ openssl req -x509 -sha256 -newkey rsa:2048 -subj /CN=CRT/ \
|
|
-keyout CRT.key -out CRT.crt -nodes -days 365
|
|
$ cert-to-efi-sig-list CRT.crt CRT.esl
|
|
|
|
3. Run the following command to create and sign the capsule file
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ mkeficapsule --monotonic-count 1 \
|
|
--private-key CRT.key \
|
|
--certificate CRT.crt \
|
|
--index 1 --instance 0 \
|
|
[--fit | --raw | --guid <guid-string] \
|
|
<image_blob> <capsule_file_name>
|
|
|
|
4. Insert the signature list into a device tree in the following format::
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
signature {
|
|
capsule-key = [ <binary of signature list> ];
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
You can perform step-4 through the Kconfig symbol
|
|
CONFIG_EFI_CAPSULE_ESL_FILE. This symbol points to the esl file
|
|
generated in step-2. Once the symbol has been populated with the path
|
|
to the esl file, it will automatically get embedded into the
|
|
platform's dtb as part of U-Boot build.
|
|
|
|
Anti-rollback Protection
|
|
************************
|
|
|
|
Anti-rollback prevents unintentional installation of outdated firmware.
|
|
To enable anti-rollback, you must add the lowest-supported-version property
|
|
to dtb and specify --fw-version when creating a capsule file with the
|
|
mkeficapsule tool.
|
|
When executing capsule update, U-Boot checks if fw_version is greater than
|
|
or equal to lowest-supported-version. If fw_version is less than
|
|
lowest-supported-version, the update will fail.
|
|
For example, if lowest-supported-version is set to 7 and you run capsule
|
|
update using a capsule file with --fw-version of 5, the update will fail.
|
|
When the --fw-version in the capsule file is updated, lowest-supported-version
|
|
in the dtb might be updated accordingly.
|
|
|
|
If user needs to enforce anti-rollback to any older version,
|
|
the lowest-supported-version property in dtb must be always updated manually.
|
|
|
|
Note that the lowest-supported-version property specified in U-Boot's control
|
|
device tree can be changed by U-Boot fdt command.
|
|
Secure systems should not enable this command.
|
|
|
|
To insert the lowest supported version into a dtb
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ dtc -@ -I dts -O dtb -o version.dtbo version.dts
|
|
$ fdtoverlay -i orig.dtb -o new.dtb -v version.dtbo
|
|
|
|
where version.dts looks like::
|
|
|
|
/dts-v1/;
|
|
/plugin/;
|
|
&{/} {
|
|
firmware-version {
|
|
image1 {
|
|
image-type-id = "09D7CF52-0720-4710-91D1-08469B7FE9C8";
|
|
image-index = <1>;
|
|
lowest-supported-version = <3>;
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
The properties of image-type-id and image-index must match the value
|
|
defined in the efi_fw_image array as image_type_id and image_index.
|
|
|
|
Executing the boot manager
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The UEFI specification foresees to define boot entries and boot sequence via
|
|
UEFI variables. Booting according to these variables is possible via::
|
|
|
|
bootefi bootmgr [fdt address]
|
|
|
|
As of U-Boot v2020.10 UEFI variables cannot be set at runtime. The U-Boot
|
|
command 'efidebug' can be used to set the variables.
|
|
|
|
Executing the built in hello world application
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
A hello world UEFI application can be built with::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_CMD_BOOTEFI_HELLO_COMPILE=y
|
|
|
|
It can be embedded into the U-Boot binary with::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_CMD_BOOTEFI_HELLO=y
|
|
|
|
The bootefi command is used to start the embedded hello world application::
|
|
|
|
bootefi hello [fdt address]
|
|
|
|
Below you find the output of an example session::
|
|
|
|
=> bootefi hello ${fdtcontroladdr}
|
|
## Starting EFI application at 01000000 ...
|
|
WARNING: using memory device/image path, this may confuse some payloads!
|
|
Hello, world!

|
|

|
|
Load options: root=/dev/sdb3 init=/sbin/init rootwait ro
|
|
## Application terminated, r = 0
|
|
|
|
The environment variable fdtcontroladdr points to U-Boot's internal device tree
|
|
(if available).
|
|
|
|
Executing the built-in self-test
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
An UEFI self-test suite can be embedded in U-Boot by building with::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_CMD_BOOTEFI_SELFTEST=y
|
|
|
|
For testing the UEFI implementation the bootefi command can be used to start the
|
|
self-test::
|
|
|
|
bootefi selftest [fdt address]
|
|
|
|
The environment variable 'efi_selftest' can be used to select a single test. If
|
|
it is not provided all tests are executed except those marked as 'on request'.
|
|
If the environment variable is set to 'list' a list of all tests is shown.
|
|
|
|
Below you can find the output of an example session::
|
|
|
|
=> setenv efi_selftest simple network protocol
|
|
=> bootefi selftest
|
|

|
The UEFI life cycle
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
After the U-Boot platform has been initialized the UEFI API provides two kinds
|
|
of services:
|
|
|
|
* boot services
|
|
* runtime services
|
|
|
|
The API can be extended by loading UEFI drivers which come in two variants:
|
|
|
|
* boot drivers
|
|
* runtime drivers
|
|
|
|
UEFI drivers are installed with U-Boot's bootefi command. With the same command
|
|
UEFI applications can be executed.
|
|
|
|
Loaded images of UEFI drivers stay in memory after returning to U-Boot while
|
|
loaded images of applications are removed from memory.
|
|
|
|
An UEFI application (e.g. an operating system) that wants to take full control
|
|
of the system calls ExitBootServices. After a UEFI application calls
|
|
ExitBootServices
|
|
|
|
* boot services are not available anymore
|
|
* timer events are stopped
|
|
* the memory used by U-Boot except for runtime services is released
|
|
* the memory used by boot time drivers is released
|
|
|
|
So this is a point of no return. Afterwards the UEFI application can only return
|
|
to U-Boot by rebooting.
|
|
|
|
The UEFI object model
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
UEFI offers a flexible and expandable object model. The objects in the UEFI API
|
|
are devices, drivers, and loaded images. These objects are referenced by
|
|
handles.
|
|
|
|
The interfaces implemented by the objects are referred to as protocols. These
|
|
are identified by GUIDs. They can be installed and uninstalled by calling the
|
|
appropriate boot services.
|
|
|
|
Handles are created by the InstallProtocolInterface or the
|
|
InstallMultipleProtocolinterfaces service if NULL is passed as handle.
|
|
|
|
Handles are deleted when the last protocol has been removed with the
|
|
UninstallProtocolInterface or the UninstallMultipleProtocolInterfaces service.
|
|
|
|
Devices offer the EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL. A device path is the concatenation
|
|
of device nodes. By their device paths all devices of a system are arranged in a
|
|
tree.
|
|
|
|
Drivers offer the EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL. This protocol is used to connect
|
|
a driver to devices (which are referenced as controllers in this context).
|
|
|
|
Loaded images offer the EFI_LOADED_IMAGE_PROTOCOL. This protocol provides meta
|
|
information about the image and a pointer to the unload callback function.
|
|
|
|
The UEFI events
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
In the UEFI terminology an event is a data object referencing a notification
|
|
function which is queued for calling when the event is signaled. The following
|
|
types of events exist:
|
|
|
|
* periodic and single shot timer events
|
|
* exit boot services events, triggered by calling the ExitBootServices() service
|
|
* virtual address change events
|
|
* memory map change events
|
|
* read to boot events
|
|
* reset system events
|
|
* system table events
|
|
* events that are only triggered programmatically
|
|
|
|
Events can be created with the CreateEvent service and deleted with CloseEvent
|
|
service.
|
|
|
|
Events can be assigned to an event group. If any of the events in a group is
|
|
signaled, all other events in the group are also set to the signaled state.
|
|
|
|
The UEFI driver model
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
A driver is specific for a single protocol installed on a device. To install a
|
|
driver on a device the ConnectController service is called. In this context
|
|
controller refers to the device for which the driver is installed.
|
|
|
|
The relevant drivers are identified using the EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL. This
|
|
protocol has has three functions:
|
|
|
|
* supported - determines if the driver is compatible with the device
|
|
* start - installs the driver by opening the relevant protocol with
|
|
attribute EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_BY_DRIVER
|
|
* stop - uninstalls the driver
|
|
|
|
The driver may create child controllers (child devices). E.g. a driver for block
|
|
IO devices will create the device handles for the partitions. The child
|
|
controllers will open the supported protocol with the attribute
|
|
EFI_OPEN_PROTOCOL_BY_CHILD_CONTROLLER.
|
|
|
|
A driver can be detached from a device using the DisconnectController service.
|
|
|
|
U-Boot devices mapped as UEFI devices
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Some of the U-Boot devices are mapped as UEFI devices
|
|
|
|
* block IO devices
|
|
* console
|
|
* graphical output
|
|
* network adapter
|
|
|
|
As of U-Boot 2018.03 the logic for doing this is hard coded.
|
|
|
|
The development target is to integrate the setup of these UEFI devices with the
|
|
U-Boot driver model [5]. So when a U-Boot device is discovered a handle should
|
|
be created and the device path protocol and the relevant IO protocol should be
|
|
installed. The UEFI driver then would be attached by calling ConnectController.
|
|
When a U-Boot device is removed DisconnectController should be called.
|
|
|
|
UEFI devices mapped as U-Boot devices
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
UEFI drivers binaries and applications may create new (virtual) devices, install
|
|
a protocol and call the ConnectController service. Now the matching UEFI driver
|
|
is determined by iterating over the implementations of the
|
|
EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.
|
|
|
|
It is the task of the UEFI driver to create a corresponding U-Boot device and to
|
|
proxy calls for this U-Boot device to the controller.
|
|
|
|
In U-Boot 2018.03 this has only been implemented for block IO devices.
|
|
|
|
UEFI uclass
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
An UEFI uclass driver (lib/efi_driver/efi_uclass.c) has been created that
|
|
takes care of initializing the UEFI drivers and providing the
|
|
EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL implementation for the UEFI drivers.
|
|
|
|
A linker created list is used to keep track of the UEFI drivers. To create an
|
|
entry in the list the UEFI driver uses the U_BOOT_DRIVER macro specifying
|
|
UCLASS_EFI_LOADER as the ID of its uclass, e.g::
|
|
|
|
/* Identify as UEFI driver */
|
|
U_BOOT_DRIVER(efi_block) = {
|
|
.name = "EFI block driver",
|
|
.id = UCLASS_EFI_LOADER,
|
|
.ops = &driver_ops,
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
The available operations are defined via the structure struct efi_driver_ops::
|
|
|
|
struct efi_driver_ops {
|
|
const efi_guid_t *protocol;
|
|
const efi_guid_t *child_protocol;
|
|
int (*bind)(efi_handle_t handle, void *interface);
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
When the supported() function of the EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL is called the
|
|
uclass checks if the protocol GUID matches the protocol GUID of the UEFI driver.
|
|
In the start() function the bind() function of the UEFI driver is called after
|
|
checking the GUID.
|
|
The stop() function of the EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL disconnects the child
|
|
controllers created by the UEFI driver and the UEFI driver. (In U-Boot v2013.03
|
|
this is not yet completely implemented.)
|
|
|
|
UEFI block IO driver
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The UEFI block IO driver supports devices exposing the EFI_BLOCK_IO_PROTOCOL.
|
|
|
|
When connected it creates a new U-Boot block IO device with interface type
|
|
UCLASS_EFI_LOADER, adds child controllers mapping the partitions, and installs
|
|
the EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL on these. This can be used together with the
|
|
software iPXE to boot from iSCSI network drives [4].
|
|
|
|
This driver is only available if U-Boot is configured with::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_BLK=y
|
|
CONFIG_PARTITIONS=y
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Load file 2 protocol
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The load file 2 protocol can be used by the Linux kernel to load the initial
|
|
RAM disk. U-Boot can be configured to provide an implementation with::
|
|
|
|
EFI_LOAD_FILE2_INITRD=y
|
|
|
|
When the option is enabled the user can add the initrd path with the efidebug
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
Load options Boot#### have a FilePathList[] member. The first element of
|
|
the array (FilePathList[0]) is the EFI binary to execute. When an initrd
|
|
is specified the Device Path for the initrd is denoted by a VenMedia node
|
|
with the EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID. Each entry of the array is terminated by the
|
|
'end of entire device path' subtype (0xff). If a user wants to define multiple
|
|
initrds, those must by separated by the 'end of this instance' identifier of
|
|
the end node (0x01).
|
|
|
|
So our final format of the FilePathList[] is::
|
|
|
|
Loaded image - end node (0xff) - VenMedia - initrd_1 - [end node (0x01) - initrd_n ...] - end node (0xff)
