This series allows U-Boot to be build as an EFI payload so that U-Boot
can be started on almost any x86 platform that supports EFI. This is
implemented as a stub which EFI can load plus a payload that is copied
to RAM. The payload contains a normal U-Boot binary image and device tree.
This allows U-Boot to run on platforms that have EFI support but are not
supported natively by U-Boot. It also allows testing and fiddling with the
board using U-Boots memory display and other commands.
In addition, U-Boot can be built as an EFI application. This should work
regardless of the board type since it only relies on EFI services. However
only 32-bit EFI is supported in this case. Again it can be used to snoop
around the platform.
A README provides further details of how this series operates.
Changes in v3:
- Add new patch to allow device tree relocation to be disabled
- Add spaces around EFIARCH=
- Drop LDFLAGS_EFI from this patch
- Fix calling convention to starting U-Boot in the 32-bit stub
- Move '-m elf_i386' into the common PLATFORM_LDFLAGS
- Move 64-bit comment to just above the 64-bit flag adjustments
- Move the rename to u-boot-app.efi into this patch
- Move u-boot-app.efi Makefile change to the earlier patch
- Rename LDFLAGS_EFI to LDFLAGS_EFI_PAYLOAD and move into this patch
- Update the patch subject
- Use "BSD-2-Clause" for the SPDX license
- Use CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN as a more accurate value for U-Boot's size
- Use quiet_cmd_xxx to link the payload
Changes in v2:
- Add -no-red-zone for 64-bit only
- Add ALIGN() before .dynamic in the linker script
- Add a blank line before return in the _relocate() function

- Add a comment as to why the AFLAGS_REMOVE_.. lines are needed
- Add a comment as to why we must call exit_boot_services() twice
- Add a note that bootm does not work when running as an EFI app
- Add descriptor bits for the base and limit
- Change 'link script' to 'linker script'
- Check the GDT selector's base and limit against the target address
- Drop . = 0x0;
- Drop \n\t at the end of a one-line asm statement
- Drop a left-over debug printf()
- Drop duplicate OBJCOPYFLAGS_EFI
- Drop no-red-zone as it is not needed for i386

- Drop unneeded include of asm/ptrace.h
- Drop unused DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_INIT

- Fix reference to elf_ia32_efi instead of elf_x86_64_efi
- Fix spacing around operators
- Fix text alignment in Kconfig files
- Merge in Bin's implementation of adding a U-Boot payload with objcopy
- Move 64-bit crt0 to a later patch
- Move EFI CAR settings to arch/x86/lib/efi/Kconfig
- Move crt0 and reloc files into arch/x86/lib/efi/
- Move the 64-bit crt and reloc code into this patch
- Move the 64-bit efi.h additions into this patch
- Move the crt and reloc files into arch/x86/lib/efi/
- Output the region index in decimal
- Remove CONFIG_SYS_EARLY_PCI_INIT and CONFIG_PCI_PNP
- Remove KEEP in the EFI linker script since garbage collection is not enabled
- Remove comment about reset_cpu() returning to EFI in the stub
- Remove extraneous '+' in comment
- Remove superfluous Kconfig options

- Replace 'Coreboot' with 'coreboot'
- Replace serial_s5p with serial_efi
- Return early in copy_uboot_to_ram() and clear_bbs() when relocation disabled
- Set text_base to 0 to avoid possible compiler warning
- Update based on the elf.h changes
- Use "efi,app" instead of "efi,payload" for the compatible string
- Use CONFIG_EFI_APP instead of CONFIG_ARCH_EFI
- Use SPDX for the EFI start and relocation code
- Use toolchain instead of tool chain
- Use u-boot-app.efi instead of u-boot.efi
- Zero BIST when starting from EFI/coreboot
