[U-Boot] [PATCH 6/9] efi_loader: Add runtime services

Alexander Graf agraf at suse.de
Tue Dec 22 14:57:53 CET 2015


After booting has finished, EFI allows firmware to still interact with the OS
using the "runtime services". These callbacks live in a separate address space,
since they are available long after U-Boot has been overwritten by the OS.

However, since U-Boot has no notion of RTS, we just create an extremely minimal
RTS stub that just declares all functions as unsupported. We could in the future
map U-boot environment variables to EFI variables here.
