2 * elilo 3.10 release commit
3 * Bumped version string to 3.10
4 * added PTR_FMT 32bit & 64bit pointer translation for correct output
5 * elilo hang bugfix x86_64 non-standard kernels with non-traditional start address
6 elilo will pull the start address from the kernel elf header for 2.6
7 or newer kernels, map memory and use that start address, else use standard
8 1MB default start address. And handle case of overlapping kernels
9 and initrds in memory. Patch contributor Stuart Hayes @ Dell,
11 * ported kernel start adress fix to ia32
12 * eliminated all possible compiler warnings except those actually
13 caused by gnu-efi that cant be fixed here.
14 * Debug output improvement, added pauses with visual feedback when
15 user sets debug & verbose options.
16 * bugfix added missing find_bits function definition back into ia32
18 * bugfix loader_probe now correctly errors out if no loaders

23 * Patch contribution from Scott Davilla <davilla@4pi.com>
24 when x is zero for the first call to add_memory_region, e820_map[-1]
25 will access memory outside the bounds of e820_map. While this does
26 not result in any problems as there is a UINT32 unused_8[41] block
27 above the e820_map[0] location that should have been zeroed by the
28 bootloader, the code should not access outside the bounds of
30 2008-01-03 Jason Fleischli <jason.fleischli@hp.com>
31 * initrd.c -- Let the allocator decide where to grab the memory from
32 the efi memory map. Current start_addr=image->start_addr forces the
33 same efi region everytime, and has a 7mb limit. ramdisk (initrd.img)
34 files larger than 7MB wouldnt fit into the memory region assumed by
35 the image->start_addr resulting in an elilo hang. Leaving start_addr
36 NULL at initialization forces alloc_pages to get a memory region
37 sufficient for the size of the initrd image.
38 2007-12-19 Jason Fleischli <jason.fleischli@hp.com>
39 * bumping version string to 3.8
40 2007-12-19 Jason Fleischli <jason.fleischli@hp.com>
41 * MORE PATCHES FROM INTEL FOR IA32 X86_64.
42 * Fix compile warning for cmdline_addr assignment.
43 * Fix an issue caused by uninitialized e820_nr_map in fill_e820map.
44 * On some machines, there are too many EFI memory map entries, so that,
45 the number of E820 map entries converted from EFI memory map exceeds
46 the limit (128). This patch fixes this bug by merging consecutive
47 memory map entries with the same type.
48 * CL_MAGIC is not supported by 32-bit boot protocol. So, the kernel
49 command line passing code is changed accordingly.
50 * EFI-2.0 boot support patches have been accepted into Linux kernel
51 2.6.24-rc4 and EFI runtime service patches have been accepted by
52 Linux kernel 2.6.24-rc4-mm1. There are some changes during the
53 merging, so there are some updates for elilo ia32/x86_64 too.
54 * The x86_64 boot parameters of Linux kernel is rearranged to line up
55 with ia32 boot parameters.
56 * The boot loader signature of IA32 and x86_64 is redefined to
57 make it possible for Linux kernel to distinguish whether the
58 underlying firmware is EFI 32 or EFI 64.
59 * The EFI framebuffer type ID is changed in Linux kernel to
60 conform to Linux kernel framebuffer type ID grouping rules. So the
61 EFI framebuffer type ID setting code in ELILO is changed accordingly.
62 * E820 memory map is added to IA32 to make it possible for
63 Linux kernel not to depend on EFI memory map on EFI 32.
64 2007-09-27 Jason Fleischli <jason.fleischli@hp.com>
65 * updating changelog for last commit that was omitted
66 * incorporating AGriffis patches to enhance parsing
67 passes root= option to kernel options and accounts for -- option

140 2006-01-27 Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@hp.com>
141 * Found a couple more places where vmcode isn't zeroed, causing the
142 option to get carried over to labels it shouldn't.
143 2006-01-09 Brett Johnson <brett@hp.com>
145 2005-12-22 Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@hp.com>
146 * Fixed vmcode_name initialization in textmenu chooser
147 2005-12-01 Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@hp.com>
148 * Applied patch from Fred Yang <fred.yang@intel.com> to support the
149 vmm= boot option. This option specifies the kernel image for a
150 virtual machine monitor (aka hypervisor). The vmm= and image=
151 options are used together to load both the hypervisor kernel and
152 the guest domain kernel into memory. If a vmm= option is not
153 specified, elilo defaults to the old behavior of loading and booting
154 to the image= kernel.
155 * Added support for compressed image= files when used with the vmm=
156 option. If the image= file is detected to be gzip compressed, the
157 image will be uncompressed into memory before it is provided to the
158 hypervisor. Any combination of compressed and uncompressed images
159 can be used for the image and vmm options.
160 2005-09-15 Brett Johnson <brett@hp.com>
161 * Applied patch from Tristan Gingold to add dcache flush and sync with
162 icache to gzip and plain loaders. This ommision was just noticed now
163 due to the much larger caches in Montecito, and the smaller size of
164 Xen (as compared to the linux kernel).
165 2004-09-27 Brett Johnson <brett@hp.com>
166 * Increase the hardcoded size of the texmenu chooser menu from 16 to 64
167 2004-09-23 Brett Johnson <brett@hp.com>
168 * Fix for 924147. Thanks to Stephanie Schaaf <sas@sgi.com> for a patch
169 that the fix is based on.
170 2004-02-19 Brett Johnson <brett@hp.com>
171 * Fixed bug where default image initrd would carry over to another
172 image that was selected interactively (iff the newly selected image
173 did not have an initrd).
174 * Added support for subnet-specific config files in netfs.
175 2004-02-17 Brett Johnson <brett@hp.com>
176 * integrated ia32 compressed kernel support from Matt Tolentino

184 * updated elilo.txt and netbooting.txt
185 * fix a bug in choosers/simple.c:print_infos().
186 it needs to check if config file path is absolute
187 when printing filename.
188 * move definitions of CHAR_SLASH CHAR_BACKSLASH to elilo.h
189 * fix a bug in read_config() where it would try other
190 filename even when the user explicitely specified one
191 via -C, now it fails it that file cannot be opened.
192 * updated simple chooser set of builtin command keys
193 * command keys are only valid if first on the line
194 * increase default buffer size and increment when netbooting
195 2003-06-04 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
196 * fix fs/netfs.c to work with recent version
197 of EFI (14.61 or higher) which do not have the
198 TFTP problem anymore. fix submitted by Guy Laborde
199 2003-04-21 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
200 * ext2fs support is turned off by default to avoid
201 problems with ext3-formatted partitions.
202 * added gcc version check. MUST use 3.0 or higher
203 2003-03-03 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
204 * added check on dev_tab in fs/*fs.c:*_uninstall()
205 2003-02-07 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
206 * clean up in glue_localfs.c w.r.t. CHAR16 in set_default_path()
207 * added support for extracting basename of bootloader path
208 when using BOOTP (DHCP) only. The prefix is then used for all files
209 open via netfs. Suggestion and initial patch by Guy Laborde from HP.
210 2003-01-28 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
211 * fix the set_default_path() routine in glue_localfs.c. It would not
212 correctly get the basename of the devpath. This caused the
213 elilo.conf not to be found sometimes.
214 2003-01-21 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
215 * fix bug in glue_netfs.c convert_ip2decstr() which caused some IP
216 addresses to be incorrectly converted to strings.
217 2002-11-01 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
218 * fix bug in -r option for IA64. There is no argument to this option.
219 2002-10-15 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
220 * fixed a double free bug for the kernel memory in case of abort.
221 (bug spotted by Levent Akyl from Intel)
223 2002-09-14 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
224 * applied patch from Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de> to eliloalt.c.

233 2002-09-10 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
234 * fix a bug in argify() that was causing an EFI assertion
235 when aborting at the elilo prompt when netbooted.
236 2002-08-26 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
237 * fixed devschemes/simple.c to use SPrint() instead of its own buggy
238 conversion code (spotted by Richard Hirst).
239 * fix bug in argify() when there was no NULL character in the string.
241 2002-08-19 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
242 * added fpswa.txt in the docs directory
244 2002-08-15 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>

249 2002-06-13 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
250 * Changed the despecialization character for the variables from \\ to &
251 to avoid conflicts with \\ as a path separator
252 2002-06-11 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
253 * fixed the return value in efi_main(). elilo was always returning
254 success even in case of failure. Bug reported by Egan Ford <egan@sense.net>

256 initialization bug in choosers/textmenu.c
257 * applied patch from Richard Hirst <rhirst@linuxcare.com> to make elilo
258 compliant with EFI spec with regards to where it looks for files.
259 With this patch, elilo will look in the directory it was loaded
260 from, not on the root of the partition anymore.
261 2002-03-04 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
262 * released version 3.2

312 and ignore the prompt directive.
314 2001-08-15 Brent Casavant <bcasavan@sgi.com>
315 * fix a bug in config.c:find_option() where it would do

318 2001-08-01 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
319 * fixed bug in fs/netfs.c where it would not handle the small buffer
320 error correctly. The retry path was not allocating a bigger buffer.
321 * Global config options are now used if the user specifies a non-label
322 load target, i.e. a kernel image file.

336 * fixed to wait_timeout() to correct the problem with the interactive prompt when
337 return is hit directly when no text
338 * fixed command line argument destruction problem, now we make a copy of them. This
339 was affecting elilo when called directly from bootmanager with NVRAM options.
341 2001-06-28 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
342 * removed W2U() hack to get from wide-char to unicode. Use -fshort-wchar option instead.
343 * split gnu-efi package in two different packages: the libary+include+crt and the bootloader.
344 * restructured the fileops module. Now use direct function calls.
345 * added support for accessing files on different devices.
346 * fixed a buffer leak in simple_chooser.c. Renamed simple_chooser.c to simple.c.
347 * created a strops.c file to incorporate all string operations functions.
348 * added support for ext2fs filesystem.
349 * restructured code to allow additional filesystems to be added easily.
350 * cleaned up add-on chooser interface.
351 * restructured code to use the EFI protocol interface to install filesystems.
352 * added compile-time options to turn on and off specific filesystems.
353 * added support for architecture specific configuration options (elilo.conf).
354 * added fpswa option to IA-64 to designate a fpswa driver file.
355 * incoporated IA-32 support from Mike Johnston <michael.johnston@intel.com>
356 * incorporated rewritten gzip.c:flush_window() from Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
357 * added interface for custom device naming schemes (devnames directory).
358 * added support for 2 possible config file (now just on netboot). The first
359 (primary) choice uses a host specific filename based on the IP address. Suggestion
360 from Egan Ford <egan@sense.net>.
362 2001-04-06 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
364 * incorporated patches from David and Michael Johnston at Intel
365 to get the package to compile for IA-32 linux target.
367 * Fixed ELILO to compile for Ia-32 (does not execute yet, though):
368 Makefile and start_kernel() function.
370 2001-04-06 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
373 get the timeout directive to do something. implemented the global
376 * Fix the efi_main() to deal with the -C option properly
378 2001-04-05 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
380 * update efi library to latest EFI toolkit 1.02 as distributed
381 by Intel. Fixed header + library files to compile with GCC
383 * merged ELI and LILO (as of gnu-efi-1.1) together, mostly
384 taking the config file feature of ELI.
386 * renamed LILO to ELILO to make the distinction
388 * restructured code to make it easier to understand and maintain
390 * fixed FPSWA driver checking and loading: we try all possible
391 files and let the driver itself figure out if it is the most
393 * added support for compression (gzip) but keep support for plain
394 ELF image. ELILO autodetects the format
396 * change the way the kernel is invoked. Now we call it in
397 physical memory mode. This breaks the dependency between the
398 kernel code and the loader. No more lilo_start.c madness.
400 * changed the way the boot_params are passed. We don't use the
401 ZERO_PAGE_ADDR trick anymore. Instead we use EFI runtime memory.
402 The address of the structure is passed to the kernel in r28
405 * released as gnu-efi-2.0
407 2001-04-03 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
409 * gnuefi/reloc_ia32.c (_relocate): Change return type from "void"
410 to "int". Return error status if relocation fails for some
413 * gnuefi/elf_ia32_efi.lds: Drop unneeded ".rel.reloc" section.
415 * gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia32.S (_start): Exit if _relocate() returns with
416 non-zero exit status.
418 * inc/ia32/efibind.h [__GNUC__]: Force 8-byte alignment for 64-bit
419 types as that is what EFI appears to be expecting, despite the
420 "#pragma pack()" at the beginning of the file!
422 2001-03-29 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
424 * gnuefi/reloc_ia32.c: Add a couple of defines to work around
425 libc/efilib collision on uint64_t et al.
426 (_relocate): Use ELF32_R_TYPE() instead of ELFW(R_TYPE)().
428 * gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia32.S (dummy): Add a dummy relocation entry.
430 2001-03-29 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
432 * gnuefi/reloc_ia32.c: Add a couple of defines to work around
433 libc/efilib collision on uint64_t et al.
434 (_relocate): Use ELF32_R_TYPE() instead of ELFW(R_TYPE)().
436 * gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia32.S (dummy): Add a dummy relocation entry.
438 2000-10-26 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
440 * gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Mention .rela.sdata.
442 * Make.defaults (CFLAGS): Remove -nostdinc flags so we can pick
443 up the C compiler's stdarg.h.
445 * inc/stdarg.h: Remove this file. It's not correct for gcc (nor
446 most other optimizing compilers).
448 2000-10-10 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
450 * cleaned up the error message and printing of those.
451 * added support to load the FPSWA from a file in case support is not
452 present in the firmware already
453 * fixed split_args() to do the right thing when you have leading spaces
455 * changed the argify() function to rely on \0 instead of LoadOptionSize
456 as the field seems to be broken with current firmware
457 * bumped version to 1.0
459 2000-10-04 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
461 * gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S: Reserve space for up to 750 function descriptors.
463 * gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Add .sdata section for small data and
464 put __gp in the "middle" of it.
466 * gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia64.S (_start): Use movl/add to load
467 gp-relative addresses that could be out of the range of the addl
469 * gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S (_relocate): Ditto.
471 * apps/Makefile: Remove standard rules and include Make.rules instead.
472 * lilo/Makefile: Ditto.
474 * Make.rules: New file.
476 2000-08-04 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
477 * released version 0.9
478 * incorporated ACPI changes for Asuza by NEC < kouchi@hpc.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp>
479 * added support for initrd (-i option) original ELI code from Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com>)
481 * got rid of #ifdef LILO_DEBUG and uses macro instead
482 * fix a few extra memory leaks in create_boot_params()
483 * added exit capability just before starting the kernel
485 2000-06-22 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
487 * gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Add .srodata, .ctors, .IA64.unwind,
488 .IA64.unwind_info to .data section and .rela.ctors to .rela
491 2000-04-03 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
493 * lilo/lilo.c (LILO_VERSION): Up version number to 0.9.
495 * gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Include .IA_64.unwind and
496 .IA_64.unwind_info in .data segment to avoid EFI load error
497 "ImageAddress: pointer outside of image" error due to the .dynsym
498 relocations against these sections.
500 * ChangeLog: Moved from lilo/ChangeLogs.
502 * gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S: fixed typo: .space directive had constant
503 100 hardcoded instead of using MAX_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTORS
506 Fri Mar 17 15:19:18 PST 2000 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
509 * replace the getopt.c with new version free with better license
510 * created a documentation file
511 * fix a couple of memory leaks
513 * created a separate directory for lilo in the gnu-efi package.
514 * added support for the BOOT_IMAGE argument to kernel
515 * default is to build natively now
