* ADD CROSSBUILD
* intake edited version of Debian x86x crossbuild patches.
* Fixed Makefile clean to include crossbuild envs.
* Fixed ia32 system.c compile warning
* Simplified efi no GOP warning so it doesnt look like an error.
* MAJOR: Fixed Fault crash when EFI memory map changes from under elilo.
(from an outside interrupt in this case). When the EFI Memory map
changes after elilo has already built boot params to pass to the
kernel the EFI call to ExitBootSvcs just prior to boot will fail
because elilo has the old map key. This is valid EFI behavior, elilo
retries to pick up the new memory map and valid key but had already
freed the start params portion of boot params resulting in a NULL
DEREF crash reset.
* Add console reset call during initialization. thanks A. Steinmetz
* minor bugfix, fixed -m option broken. thanks Allan-lsk.
* tag 3_16 for release
2011-1-10 signed off by Jason Fleischli <fleischli@users.sourceforge.net>
* Uptake of SUSE patches
- add sysfs support for efi vars (formerly /proc/efi/vars)
- fix strncpy overflow
- fix bzimage alloc
- cleanups
- support longer command line
- yet some more mac fixes
- align elilo with latest kernel boot protocol format.
- new memory management strategy for initrd and kernel image loading.
* add force text mode command line option.
* replace error output on GOP handle failed, downgraded to normal
print status with more informative output.
2009-10-22 signed off by Jason Fleischli <fleischli@users.sourceforge.net>
* elilo 3.12 release commit
* Added additional #defines for debug levels to reduce the output
* Added Mac console patch rework from Julien Blache @ debian
this fixes the invisible console output from elilo on Macs
* Moved static ELILO_VERSION variable from elilo.c to elilo.h
so that elilo will print its version string and arch on startup.
* Fixed bug 2825044 ExitBootServices error handling, correctly deal
with changed memory map key if memory map changes from under elilo.
* Added memory map key to map debug output.
* Fixed bug 2874380 netbooting just flat broken. fixed ia64, x86_64
ia32, fixed handling of server side support of tfpt options (get file size)
elilo now attempts to get file size before attempting read of file
to set the buffers up correctly and deal with tftp servers that dont
support options extensions a little better.
* netboot, fixed bad blocksize handling
* netboot, fixed filename length for elilo-x86_64.conf type on tftp
server.
* increased bzimage kernel max length sizes to 4mb on i386 and 8mb on
x86_64... this is a legacy design hold over from original design and
needs to be re-written to do dynamic size memory management based on
the size of the actual vmlinuz image, as ia64/gzip does.
2008-04-02 signed off by Jason Fleischli <fleischli@users.sourceforge.net>
* elilo 3.10 release commit
* Bumped version string to 3.10
* added PTR_FMT 32bit & 64bit pointer translation for correct output
* elilo hang bugfix x86_64 non-standard kernels with non-traditional start address
elilo will pull the start address from the kernel elf header for 2.6
or newer kernels, map memory and use that start address, else use standard
1MB default start address. And handle case of overlapping kernels
and initrds in memory. Patch contributor Stuart Hayes @ Dell,
thanks Stuart!
* ported kernel start adress fix to ia32
* eliminated all possible compiler warnings except those actually
caused by gnu-efi that cant be fixed here.
* Debug output improvement, added pauses with visual feedback when
user sets debug & verbose options.
* bugfix added missing find_bits function definition back into ia32
subtree
* bugfix loader_probe now correctly errors out if no loaders
registered.
2008-01-11 signed off by Jason Fleischli <fleischli@users.sourceforge.net>
* Various compile warning cleanups.
2008-01-03 signed off by Jason Fleischli <fleischli@users.sourceforge.net>
* Patch contribution from Scott Davilla <davilla@4pi.com>
when x is zero for the first call to add_memory_region, e820_map[-1]
will access memory outside the bounds of e820_map. While this does
not result in any problems as there is a UINT32 unused_8[41] block
above the e820_map[0] location that should have been zeroed by the
bootloader, the code should not access outside the bounds of
structures.
2008-01-03 Jason Fleischli <fleischli@users.sourceforge.net>
* initrd.c -- Let the allocator decide where to grab the memory from
the efi memory map. Current start_addr=image->start_addr forces the
same efi region everytime, and has a 7mb limit. ramdisk (initrd.img)
files larger than 7MB wouldnt fit into the memory region assumed by
the image->start_addr resulting in an elilo hang. Leaving start_addr
NULL at initialization forces alloc_pages to get a memory region
sufficient for the size of the initrd image.
2007-12-19 Jason Fleischli <fleischli@users.sourceforge.net>
* bumping version string to 3.8
2007-12-19 Jason Fleischli <fleischli@users.sourceforge.net>
* MORE PATCHES FROM INTEL FOR IA32 X86_64.
* Fix compile warning for cmdline_addr assignment.
* Fix an issue caused by uninitialized e820_nr_map in fill_e820map.
* On some machines, there are too many EFI memory map entries, so that,
the number of E820 map entries converted from EFI memory map exceeds
the limit (128). This patch fixes this bug by merging consecutive
memory map entries with the same type.
* CL_MAGIC is not supported by 32-bit boot protocol. So, the kernel
command line passing code is changed accordingly.
* EFI-2.0 boot support patches have been accepted into Linux kernel
2.6.24-rc4 and EFI runtime service patches have been accepted by
Linux kernel 2.6.24-rc4-mm1. There are some changes during the
merging, so there are some updates for elilo ia32/x86_64 too.
* The x86_64 boot parameters of Linux kernel is rearranged to line up
with ia32 boot parameters.
* The boot loader signature of IA32 and x86_64 is redefined to
make it possible for Linux kernel to distinguish whether the
underlying firmware is EFI 32 or EFI 64.
* The EFI framebuffer type ID is changed in Linux kernel to
conform to Linux kernel framebuffer type ID grouping rules. So the
EFI framebuffer type ID setting code in ELILO is changed accordingly.
* E820 memory map is added to IA32 to make it possible for
Linux kernel not to depend on EFI memory map on EFI 32.
2007-09-27 Jason Fleischli <fleischli@users.sourceforge.net>
* updating changelog for last commit that was omitted
* incorporating AGriffis patches to enhance parsing
passes root= option to kernel options and accounts for -- option
designation.

* Found a couple more places where vmcode isn't zeroed, causing the
option to get carried over to labels it shouldn't.
2006-01-09 Brett Johnson <brett@hp.com>
* Released 3.6
2005-12-22 Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@hp.com>
* Fixed vmcode_name initialization in textmenu chooser
2005-12-01 Alex Williamson <alex.williamson@hp.com>
* Applied patch from Fred Yang <fred.yang@intel.com> to support the
vmm= boot option. This option specifies the kernel image for a
virtual machine monitor (aka hypervisor). The vmm= and image=
options are used together to load both the hypervisor kernel and
the guest domain kernel into memory. If a vmm= option is not
specified, elilo defaults to the old behavior of loading and booting
to the image= kernel.
* Added support for compressed image= files when used with the vmm=
option. If the image= file is detected to be gzip compressed, the
image will be uncompressed into memory before it is provided to the
hypervisor. Any combination of compressed and uncompressed images
can be used for the image and vmm options.
2005-09-15 Brett Johnson <brett@hp.com>
* Applied patch from Tristan Gingold to add dcache flush and sync with
icache to gzip and plain loaders. This ommision was just noticed now
due to the much larger caches in Montecito, and the smaller size of
Xen (as compared to the linux kernel).
2004-09-27 Brett Johnson <brett@hp.com>
* Increase the hardcoded size of the texmenu chooser menu from 16 to 64
2004-09-23 Brett Johnson <brett@hp.com>
* Fix for 924147. Thanks to Stephanie Schaaf <sas@sgi.com> for a patch
that the fix is based on.
2004-02-19 Brett Johnson <brett@hp.com>
* Fixed bug where default image initrd would carry over to another
image that was selected interactively (iff the newly selected image
did not have an initrd).
* Added support for subnet-specific config files in netfs.
2004-02-17 Brett Johnson <brett@hp.com>

* incorporated rewritten gzip.c:flush_window() from Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
* added interface for custom device naming schemes (devnames directory).
* added support for 2 possible config file (now just on netboot). The first
(primary) choice uses a host specific filename based on the IP address. Suggestion
from Egan Ford <egan@sense.net>.
2001-04-06 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* incorporated patches from David and Michael Johnston at Intel
to get the package to compile for IA-32 linux target.
* Fixed ELILO to compile for Ia-32 (does not execute yet, though):
Makefile and start_kernel() function.
2001-04-06 Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
* Fixed config.c to
get the timeout directive to do something. implemented the global
root= directive.
* Fix the efi_main() to deal with the -C option properly
2001-04-05 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* update efi library to latest EFI toolkit 1.02 as distributed
by Intel. Fixed header + library files to compile with GCC
* merged ELI and LILO (as of gnu-efi-1.1) together, mostly
taking the config file feature of ELI.
* renamed LILO to ELILO to make the distinction
* restructured code to make it easier to understand and maintain
* fixed FPSWA driver checking and loading: we try all possible
files and let the driver itself figure out if it is the most
recent.
* added support for compression (gzip) but keep support for plain
ELF image. ELILO autodetects the format
* change the way the kernel is invoked. Now we call it in
physical memory mode. This breaks the dependency between the
kernel code and the loader. No more lilo_start.c madness.
* changed the way the boot_params are passed. We don't use the
ZERO_PAGE_ADDR trick anymore. Instead we use EFI runtime memory.
The address of the structure is passed to the kernel in r28
by our convention.
* released as gnu-efi-2.0
2001-04-03 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
* gnuefi/reloc_ia32.c (_relocate): Change return type from "void"
to "int". Return error status if relocation fails for some
reason.
* gnuefi/elf_ia32_efi.lds: Drop unneeded ".rel.reloc" section.
* gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia32.S (_start): Exit if _relocate() returns with
non-zero exit status.
* inc/ia32/efibind.h [__GNUC__]: Force 8-byte alignment for 64-bit
types as that is what EFI appears to be expecting, despite the
"#pragma pack()" at the beginning of the file!
2001-03-29 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
* gnuefi/reloc_ia32.c: Add a couple of defines to work around
libc/efilib collision on uint64_t et al.
(_relocate): Use ELF32_R_TYPE() instead of ELFW(R_TYPE)().
* gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia32.S (dummy): Add a dummy relocation entry.
2001-03-29 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
* gnuefi/reloc_ia32.c: Add a couple of defines to work around
libc/efilib collision on uint64_t et al.
(_relocate): Use ELF32_R_TYPE() instead of ELFW(R_TYPE)().
* gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia32.S (dummy): Add a dummy relocation entry.
2000-10-26 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
* gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Mention .rela.sdata.
* Make.defaults (CFLAGS): Remove -nostdinc flags so we can pick
up the C compiler's stdarg.h.
* inc/stdarg.h: Remove this file. It's not correct for gcc (nor
most other optimizing compilers).
2000-10-10 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* cleaned up the error message and printing of those.
* added support to load the FPSWA from a file in case support is not
present in the firmware already
* fixed split_args() to do the right thing when you have leading spaces
before kernel name
* changed the argify() function to rely on \0 instead of LoadOptionSize
as the field seems to be broken with current firmware
* bumped version to 1.0
2000-10-04 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
* gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S: Reserve space for up to 750 function descriptors.
* gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Add .sdata section for small data and
put __gp in the "middle" of it.
* gnuefi/crt0-efi-ia64.S (_start): Use movl/add to load
gp-relative addresses that could be out of the range of the addl
offset.
* gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S (_relocate): Ditto.
* apps/Makefile: Remove standard rules and include Make.rules instead.
* lilo/Makefile: Ditto.
* Make.rules: New file.
2000-08-04 Stephane Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
* released version 0.9
* incorporated ACPI changes for Asuza by NEC < kouchi@hpc.bs1.fc.nec.co.jp>
* added support for initrd (-i option) original ELI code from Bill Nottingham <notting@redhat.com>)
* lots of cleanups
* got rid of #ifdef LILO_DEBUG and uses macro instead
* fix a few extra memory leaks in create_boot_params()
* added exit capability just before starting the kernel
2000-06-22 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
* gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Add .srodata, .ctors, .IA64.unwind,
.IA64.unwind_info to .data section and .rela.ctors to .rela
section.
2000-04-03 David Mosberger <davidm@hpl.hp.com>
* lilo/lilo.c (LILO_VERSION): Up version number to 0.9.
* gnuefi/elf_ia64_efi.lds: Include .IA_64.unwind and
.IA_64.unwind_info in .data segment to avoid EFI load error
"ImageAddress: pointer outside of image" error due to the .dynsym
relocations against these sections.
* ChangeLog: Moved from lilo/ChangeLogs.
* gnuefi/reloc_ia64.S: fixed typo: .space directive had constant
100 hardcoded instead of using MAX_FUNCTION_DESCRIPTORS
macro. Duh.
