Commit Message

Ilias Apalodimas Jan. 13, 2021, 11:11 a.m. UTC
The UEFI spec allow a packed array of UEFI device paths in the
FilePathList[] of an EFI_LOAD_OPTION. The first file path must
describe the laoded image but the rest are OS specific.
Previous patches parse the device path and try to use the second
member of the array as an initrd. So let's modify efidebug slightly
and install the second file described in the command line as the
initrd device path.

Please, describe the syntax of the efidebug command in the commit message.

I have a concern about your proposed command line syntax.
It takes a lot of parameters as a whole which makes it
hard to understand it at a glance, easily overflowing
the width of terminal window.

It will even get worse if we want to take dtb as a third
device path, and what if we want to specify dtb, but not initrd?

Moreover, if we want to add support for non-linux executabes which
utilize extra device paths (neither initrd nor dtb) in a boot
load option, the syntax will be problematic.

We'd better pass argv[6], argv[7] and argv[8] explicitly here,
which will make the code readable and easily extended to support
dtb in the future.
then,
    argc -= 3;
    argv += 3;

Then, the code should be moved out of this 'if' clause.

The code should remain here for non-initrd case.

Maybe we should add explicit commands in efidebug then?
Something like:
efidebug initrd add 0002 virtio 1 initrd_file
efidebug dtb add 0002 virtio 1 dtb

That would untangle the do_efi_boot_add() function, make our lives easier on
adding things like 'kernel <no initrd> valid dtb' and should be much easier 
to use. The user will just have to make sure the boot order numbers match when 
adding files

[...]

Why "add"? If no file is provided, we could empty the device path.

All other boot related subcommands start with efidebug boot. So how about:

efidebug boot add 00B1 'Linux' mmc 0:1 vmlinux-5.99 UUID=1234
efidebug boot initrd 00B1 mmc 0:1 initrd-5.99
efidebug boot dtb mmc 00B1 0:1 /dtbs/5.99/vendor/board.dtb
efidebug boot order 00B1

What will happen if you pass the following command next:

efidebug boot add 00B1 'Linux' mmc 0:1 vmlinux-5.99.1 UUID=1234

Will initrd and and dtb be kept?

What will happen if you start with dtb or with initrd and not with add?

A device path with kernel.efi, no initrd, and dtb would have an initrd
device path with only an end node. Should we install a LOAD FILE2
protocol in this case to disallow initrd on the command line?

The boot options are relevant for all users, while the rest of efidebug
is more developers oriented. Should we separate the boot related
commands from the rest of efidebug and build with the new command by
default?

bootopt add 00B1 'Linux' mmc 0:1 vmlinux-5.99 UUID=1234
bootopt initrd 00B1 mmc 0:1 initrd-5.99
bootopt dtb mmc 00B1 0:1 /dtbs/5.99/vendor/board.dtb
bootopt order 00B1

That's one of the reasons the RFC had everything in one line. You enforce less
options to the user, which imho is always good :).

IMHO we should return the usage in that case and explicitly request the boot
option to be set first. In principle the dtb and initrd are not load options. 
They are appended DTB instances in an existing load option. If you dont do 
'add' first, there's no device path to begin with.

So to answer your first question, in order to simplify the command line, I'd
suggest we overwrite the load_option when adding a new image. It's unlikely
the initrd will remain as is anyway, the dtb might remain the same, but it's
not worth the effort and complexity. You'll need a substantial amount of code 
parsing the DP instances and placing elements in top/middle/bottom etc.

If you do that the user won't be able to load an initrd, unless a fixup is
applied directly on the DTB. I'd avoid that, I would simply defer from
installing the protocol overall if an end node is discovered on the initrd.

+1 on that, efidebug feels a bit weird for that.
This can go in on a different patchset I guess?
It would merely mean c/p the code in a different file and 
edit a few makesfiles?

I have had the same idea in my mind.

My long-standing hope was to step up the stage of "efidebug" from
"debug" to "normal" command. Initially, I intended to implement this
command as an alternative of EDK2's efishell (or poorman's shell),
so most of the sub commands have a similar syntax and output formats
to efisehell defined in EFI specification.
But this idea was rejected by Alex :)

I agree that "boot" sub command is a good candidate of a standalone command.
Or alternatively, we may want to add options to bootefi command.

Anyhow, when you go this way, please don't forget to update pytest scripts
since efidebug is also used in secure boot/capsule update tests.
