Please note the new action points at the bottom of the page. Send your
status updates to the list regarding:
- DT and UEFI work
- Implementation on other bootloader than the ARM one
- HW platform status
In addition there was no time to discuss during the last meeting the
Android + UEFI status. Could someone summarize the status there for
the rest of the list?
Thanks,

Hey
As discussed again in today's call, I've pushed a git mirror of edk2's
and edk2-fatdriver2's SVN modules to git.linaro.org.
This is temporary in that:
* the whole history of edk2-fatdriver2 was imported, but only the last
revision of edk2 was imported (a full import is running, but that
will take a while)
* git.linaro.org lacks git-svn and has outbound traffic firewalled; I'm
working with IS to resolve this
These can be used right now, with the caveats that the branches might
be rebased or might move to another host; I'm happy to assist if you
need help moving your patches around when that happens.
The repos are:
git://git.linaro.org/mirror/edk2/edk2.gitgit://git.linaro.org/mirror/edk2/edk2-fatdriver2.git
These were created with:
git svn clone -s \
https://edk2-fatdriver2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edk2-fatdriver2
edk2-fatdriver2
git svn clone -r 12354 -s \
https://edk2-fatdriver2.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/edk2
edk2
Would you need any other SVN module mirrored, or if you have
suggestions about a different set of git-svn options, please get in
touch with me.
Cheers

Hi everyone,
I'd like to get the date and time sorted out for the next two boot
architecture face-to-face meetings. For the next one, I propose
scheduling it as a 1/2 day summit during LinuxCon & ELC-E in Prague,
Oct 26-28th, or possibly the day before in parallel with kernel
summit. ELC-E I think is an excellent venue since there will be
representatives from a large number of ARM vendors in attendance, as
well as core Linux developers. I believe we'll be able to get a
larger cross-section of the ecosystem there than will be attending
LInaro Connect the week after in Orlando. Does anybody have any
issues with that date? Is there a specific day that works best? I
haven't talked with the Linux Foundation folks yet or looked at the
schedule, but I'll try to choose a time that doesn't conflict with
related presentations.
For the meeting after that, there are two options; either at Linaro
Connect Q1.12, February 6-10, in San Diego (?), or I *think* ELC the
week after and also in San Diego. I need confirmation from the LF
though about the scheduling. I'm leaning toward ELC for this meeting
also for the same reasons as above, but it might be a good strategy to
alternate between Linaro and non-Linaro gatherings. Thoughts?

[sorry if this is the wrong list, please direct me to the right one as needed]
I'm trying to get my head wrapped around FDT to understand how UEFI firmware can produce this (and possibly use it internally) and pass it to the OS.
I've been trying to find the authoritative specification describing DT and FDT. My experience searching resulted in a lot of dead links. Is the spec the ePAPR specification? How does this specification get updated to provide compatibility or enhancements that the current spec does not address like ARM architecture additions?
Also is there a central registry, if any, of strings for vendors or compatible hardware? For example if I have a property 'compatible = "hp,widget123";' who determines whether 'hp' standard for Hewlett-Packard or Henry's Pickles? Along the same lines if there is a standard interface like a "gic" where is the spec/document describing what a "gic" is and how is it updated?
Sorry for the newbie DT questions... I guess I've been spoiled by the UEFI spec providing all the information I've needed in the past in once place. :)
Thanks,
Eugene
Dear Grant Likely,
In the boot architecture meeting held in Linaro connect
Q3, we discussed regarding a separate git repository for vendors supporting
the Uefi boot loader.
I am responsible for the supporting Uefi for samsung platform. Can you
please let me know when the git repository will be available to upstream the
UEFI.

Girish K S
We're looking into porting Xen to the ARM A15 architecture. In this
context, it's necessary to arrange for the Xen hypervisor to be
entered from the boot loader in an appropriate processor mode.
KVM needs to deal with the same problem, of course. And any future
Linux kernel feature which uses the Secure State does too.
We are currently working with ARM's "Fast Model" of the Cortex A15, a
software emulator. We're using it in the mode where you feed it an
ELF and it loads it into simulated RAM and starts executing at the
ELF entrypoint. It does this in the CPU's defined startup mode, which
is Kernel mode in the Secure state.
It seems that this environment is what the nascent KVM-on-A15
developers [1] are using too. There is modified version of the tiny
boot wrapper (the normal version of which just emulates the proper
calling API for the kernel); it sets up a trampoline security monitor.
We need to define a correct calling convention for the kernel which is
compatible with old systems, but which also allows the booted kernel
(Linux, perhaps KVM-enabled, or indeed a hypervisor like Xen) use of
all the available facilities. The correct approach does seem to be to
have Linux set itself up a trivial trampoline which allows the kernel
to later regain the elevated privilege.
There are a couple of things with the existing KVM ARM approach with
the trivial boot wrapper which need to be fixed, though: firstly,
there should be separate trampolines for hypervisor mode and for
secure state. That allows the two features to be used independently.
Secondly, the trivial trampolines should be part of the kernel proper
and their lifetime should not extend across the bootloader interface.
At first I thought that the best thing to do would be to boot the
kernel in any suitable mode, and have the kernel automatically detect
the starting mode. I started writing code in linux's head.S to do
this. However, detecting whether we are in secure state is very
difficult: it involves deliberately risking an undefined instruction
trap. The code for this was getting rather long and involved.
Also, unconditionally starting a kernel in hypervisor mode seems
rather unfriendly. At the moment we unconditionally start it in the
secure state and indeed in the current setup it seems to run entirely
in secure state. It seems to me that the kernel should mostly run in
non-secure state.
So I propose the following approach:
1. The kernel will advertise via ELF notes what modes it may be
started in. The possible modes will be:
(i) secure monitor mode
(ii) non-secure hypervisor mode
(iii) non-secure kernel mode
2. The bootloader will select the first mode from the three listed
above which is supported by both the processor and the kernel to
be loaded, and transition the processor to that mode. If this
involves dropping out of secure or hypervisor mode, it will put
those modes permanently beyond use.
3. The kernel will examine CPSR to determine which of the three
possibilities above has happened, and:
(a) If started in monitor mode:
* Grant access to everything to non-secure state
* Set the non-secure copies of the various CP15 registers
which don't have a sane value on cpu reset
* Install a trivial monitor vector which unconditionally
copies r0 to MVBAR and returns
* Switch to non-secure Hyp mode (if available) and do (b),
or non-secure Kernel mode (if Hyp mode not supported).
(b) If started in Hyp mode:
* Install a trivial hypervisor vector which unconditionally
copies r0 to HVBAR and returns
(c) Rest of startup.
Questions:
1. What do people think ? If this seems plausible I will prepare
an RFC patch for Linux and the boot-wrapper.git.
2. This cpu startup process must happen very early - before paging
is enabled, in any case, so before RAM is really available.
However, it produces two bits of information: 1. does the
kernel own secure state; 2. does the kernel own hyp mode.
Where should this information be stored ?
3. Is Linux allowed to assume that the secondary CPUs have the
same properties as the boot CPU ? If not, where do I store the
availability of the secure/hyp modes for the secondary cpus ?
Perhaps that ought to be in the device tree.
4. I'm not very familiar with the KVM on ARM code. How much would
have to be changed to existing KVM on ARM to make it conform to
the above scheme ? In particular it would have to not use SMC to
adjust the HVBAR; instead, it would have to take control of HVBAR
once per CPU.
Opinions welcome.
Thanks,
Ian.

Folks
September will be the time to restart the meetings for Boot
Architecture. The meetings should restart after the Plumbers event, so
wk37 (starting 12 September) looks a good time to restart.
I can create and send out the invitation, please let me know:
1. is the frequency ok - every week? YES/NO (if not then how often
should we meet in your opinion)
2. is the day of the week and time ok? It used to be Thursdays at 14:00
UTC, does that still suit you?
I will gather all the responses and try to meet all your constraints.
Best,

So, the MMC fix is probably in the right direction, but I think there are other fixes that may interfere. There were quite a few files that got changed and I actually have to fix a few typos in order to make it compile. I will try r12160 instead.

Hi Alan,
What you did seem correct. I have not tried to duplicate the issue. But interestingly, I found a bug around the MMC driver using GCC to build the BeagleBoard UEFI firmware (the firmware was crashing when booting Linux).
I fixed the bug in the revision 12160. It could fix the bug you found.

Subject: Booting Linux from UEFI on Beagleboard Qemu
Hi all:
I just started to play around with ARM UEFI stuff and has issue booting into Linux when trying to test the EDK2 software on Qemu. This seems like the right place to ask. I followed the instruction in (http://edk2.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/edk2/trunk/edk2/BeagleBoardPkg/readm…) including downloading the specific version of binaries / tools. When trying to run UEFI (both in NOR flash method as well as SD card method), UEFI started successfully. However, I kept on getting "Did not find Linux kernel" error when trying to boot Linux. From EBL, I can see the zImage file is present (cd fs1:; dir). The zImage file is basically vmlinuz-2.6.35-1008-linaro-omap from the hwpack. I even tried to extract zImage from uImage, but the result is still the same.
I am wondering if anyone has run into the same issue and can give me a hint on what else to try.
Thanks,
Alan Chuang

So, the MMC fix is probably in the right direction, but I think there are other fixes that may interfere. There were quite a few files that got changed and I actually have to fix a few typos in order to make it compile. I will try r12160 instead.
Thanks,
Alan

Hi Alan,
What you did seem correct. I have not tried to duplicate the issue. But interestingly, I found a bug around the MMC driver using GCC to build the BeagleBoard UEFI firmware (the firmware was crashing when booting Linux).
I fixed the bug in the revision 12160. It could fix the bug you found.
Thanks,
Olivier

Subject: Booting Linux from UEFI on Beagleboard Qemu
Hi all:
I just started to play around with ARM UEFI stuff and has issue booting into Linux when trying to test the EDK2 software on Qemu. This seems like the right place to ask. I followed the instruction in (http://edk2.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/edk2/trunk/edk2/BeagleBoardPkg/readm…) including downloading the specific version of binaries / tools. When trying to run UEFI (both in NOR flash method as well as SD card method), UEFI started successfully. However, I kept on getting "Did not find Linux kernel" error when trying to boot Linux. From EBL, I can see the zImage file is present (cd fs1:; dir). The zImage file is basically vmlinuz-2.6.35-1008-linaro-omap from the hwpack. I even tried to extract zImage from uImage, but the result is still the same.
I am wondering if anyone has run into the same issue and can give me a hint on what else to try.
Thanks,
Alan Chuang
