 char data[] ;
};

Members

num_pages: number of pages allocated
checksum: checksum
data: allocated pool memory

Description

U-Boot services each UEFI AllocatePool() request as a separate (multiple) page allocation. We have to track the number of pages to be able to free the correct amount later.

The checksum calculated in function checksum() is used in FreePool() to avoid freeing memory not allocated by AllocatePool() and duplicate freeing.

EFI requires 8 byte alignment for pool allocations, so we can prepend each allocation with these header fields.

Parameters

Description

const struct efi_device_path *dpi: The device path instance to append. Must not be NULL.

Description

Concatenate two device paths, treating the second path (dpi) as a new instance appended to the first path (dp). An END_THIS_INSTANCE node is inserted between dp and dpi if dp is not NULL. If dp is NULL, dpi is duplicated (and terminated appropriately). dpi must not be NULL. The caller is responsible for freeing the returned path (e.g., using efi_free()).

Return

A new device path with dpi appended as a new instance, or NULL on error (e.g. allocation failure, dpi is NULL).

efi_uintn_t *size: Optional pointer to an efi_uintn_t variable that will receive the size of the extracted instance path (including its EFI_DP_END node).

Description

Given a pointer to a pointer to a device path (dp), this function extracts the first instance from the path. It allocates a new path for this extracted instance (including its instance-specific EFI_DP_END node). The input pointer (*dp) is then updated to point to the start of the next instance in the original path, or set to NULL if no more instances remain. The caller is responsible for freeing the returned instance path (e.g., using efi_free()).

structefi_device_path*efi_dp_from_http(constchar*server, structudevice *dev): set device path from http

Parameters

const char *server: URI of remote server
struct udevice *dev: net udevice

Description

Set the device path to an IPv4 path as provided by efi_dp_from_ipv4 concatenated with a device path of subtype DEVICE_PATH_SUB_TYPE_MSG_URI, and an EFI_DP_END node.

Return

pointer to HTTP device path, NULL on error

Unit testing

The following library functions are provided to support writing UEFI unit tests. The should not be used elsewhere.

efi_st_printf

efi_st_printf (...)

print a message

Parameters

...: format string followed by fields to print

efi_st_error

efi_st_error (...)

prints an error message

Parameters

...: format string followed by fields to print

efi_st_todo

efi_st_todo (...)

prints a TODO message

Parameters

...: format string followed by fields to print

enumefi_test_phase: phase when test will be executed

Constants

EFI_EXECUTE_BEFORE_BOOTTIME_EXIT: Setup, execute, and teardown are executed before ExitBootServices().
EFI_SETUP_BEFORE_BOOTTIME_EXIT: Setup is executed before ExitBootServices() while execute, and teardown are executed after ExitBootServices().
EFI_SETTING_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_MAP: Execute calls SetVirtualAddressMap(). Setup is executed before ExitBootServices() while execute is executed after ExitBootServices(), and after the execute of tests marked as EFI_SETUP_BEFORE_BOOTTIME_EXIT. Teardown is executed thereafter.

Description

A test may be setup and executed at boottime, it may be setup at boottime and executed at runtime, or it may be setup and executed at runtime.

voidefi_st_exit_boot_services(void): exit the boot services

Parameters

void: no arguments

Description

The size of the memory map is determined.
Pool memory is allocated to copy the memory map.
The memory map is copied and the map key is obtained.
The map key is used to exit the boot services.

voidefi_st_printc(intcolor, constchar*fmt, ...): print a colored message

Parameters

int color: color, see constants in efi_api.h, use -1 for no color
const char *fmt: printf style format string
...: arguments to be printed

u16*efi_st_translate_char(u16code): translate a Unicode character to a string

Parameters

u16 code: Unicode character

Return

string

u16*efi_st_translate_code(u16code): translate a scan code to a human readable string

Parameters

u16 code: scan code

Description

This function translates the scan code returned by the simple text input protocol to a human readable string, e.g. 0x04 is translated to u"Left".

Return

Unicode string

intefi_st_strcmp_16_8(constu16*buf1, constunsignedchar*buf2): compare an u16 string to a char string

Parameters

const u16 *buf1: u16 string
const unsigned char *buf2: char string

Description

This function compares each u16 value to the char value at the same position. This function is only useful for ANSI strings.

Return

0 if both buffers contain equivalent strings

void*efi_st_get_config_table(constefi_guid_t*guid): get configuration table

Parameters

const efi_guid_t *guid: GUID of the configuration table

Return

pointer to configuration table or NULL

u16efi_st_get_key(void): reads an Unicode character from the input device

Parameters

void: no arguments

Return

Unicode character

intefi_st_query_variable_common(structefi_runtime_services*runtime, u32attributes): Common variable tests for boottime/runtime

Parameters

struct efi_runtime_services *runtime: Pointer to services table
u32 attributes: Attributes used

Return

EFI_ST_SUCCESS/FAILURE

structefi_unit_test: EFI unit test

Definition

struct efi_unit_test {
 const char *name;
 const enum efi_test_phase phase;
 int (*setup)(const efi_handle_t handle, const struct efi_system_table *systable);
 int (*execute)(void);
 int (*teardown)(void);
 bool on_request;
};

Members

name: name of the unit test used in the user interface
phase: specifies when setup and execute are executed
setup: set up function of the unit test
execute: execute function of the unit test
teardown: tear down function of the unit test
on_request: flag indicating that the test shall only be executed on request

Description

The struct efi_unit_test structure provides a interface to an EFI unit test.

EFI_UNIT_TEST

EFI_UNIT_TEST (__name)

macro to declare a new EFI unit test

Parameters

__name: string identifying the unit test in the linker generated list

Description

The macro EFI_UNIT_TEST() declares an EFI unit test using the struct efi_unit_test structure. The test is added to a linker generated list which is evaluated by the ‘bootefi selftest’ command.
