OK, so you are saying this could be used to disambiguate which of
several files you may want to load from the initrd GUIDed device path?

One thing that occurred to me is that we have to decide whether we
want to support the '10.3.5.8 Relative Offset Range' device path node
for this file, so that you could potentially load subranges of the
file. I don't see a use case for it right now, though.

But for my understanding, would the FilePath passed to LoadFile2 be
'Offset(...)+EndEntire' in that case? Or should it include the GUID
device path node as well?

Yes, it is. efi_main() is called after efi_pe_entry() in the native PE
boot case, and it is the only one being called when using the EFI
handover protocol.

So the expected new flow would be for efi_pe_entry() to run first and
load the initrd, in which case this code would not run. However, it
would be better to still support the EFI handover protocol when using
this method of loading the initrd, not only for convenience, but also
because we cannot call efi_pe_entry() when running in mixed mode.

Interestingly, LoadImage() can be used to load 64-bit images on 32-bit
EDK2 firmware today (and I have to check whether that holds for mixed
mode Mac hardware as well), only StartImage() will fail. It all
depends on whether we still care about mixed mode in the secure boot
context going forward, but if we do, we may be able to use LoadImage()
but then jump to this entry point (via startup_32 in head_32.S)

So the bottom line is that we have to keep this entry point alive for
the time being, but there is no reason to add initrd loading to it
using the old method, since we can't support it very well in mixed
mode (due to the prototypes of the protocols) and we don't support
that now anyway.

OK, so you are saying this could be used to disambiguate which of
several files you may want to load from the initrd GUIDed device path?

One thing that occurred to me is that we have to decide whether we
want to support the '10.3.5.8 Relative Offset Range' device path node
for this file, so that you could potentially load subranges of the
file. I don't see a use case for it right now, though.

But for my understanding, would the FilePath passed to LoadFile2 be
'Offset(...)+EndEntire' in that case? Or should it include the GUID
device path node as well?

Yes, it is. efi_main() is called after efi_pe_entry() in the native PE
boot case, and it is the only one being called when using the EFI
handover protocol.

So the expected new flow would be for efi_pe_entry() to run first and
load the initrd, in which case this code would not run. However, it
would be better to still support the EFI handover protocol when using
this method of loading the initrd, not only for convenience, but also
because we cannot call efi_pe_entry() when running in mixed mode.

Interestingly, LoadImage() can be used to load 64-bit images on 32-bit
EDK2 firmware today (and I have to check whether that holds for mixed
mode Mac hardware as well), only StartImage() will fail. It all
depends on whether we still care about mixed mode in the secure boot
context going forward, but if we do, we may be able to use LoadImage()
but then jump to this entry point (via startup_32 in head_32.S)

So the bottom line is that we have to keep this entry point alive for
the time being, but there is no reason to add initrd loading to it
using the old method, since we can't support it very well in mixed
mode (due to the prototypes of the protocols) and we don't support
that now anyway.
