Subject: Removing DT dependency from LoongArch EFI stub
Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2022 20:37:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAMj1kXHk2o2g2t34-iMawUjfJd1uCZc1QaXH90TpS54Sg6PiCQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

One of the things I didn't quite like was that LoongArch now uses
libfdt only because our EFI stub code depends on it. I would like to
fix this.

I have pushed a branch here that implements this. Unfortunately, it
doesn't proceed beyond

and I need some help debugging the error.

EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel...
EFI stub: Loaded initrd from LINUX_EFI_INITRD_MEDIA_GUID device path
EFI stub: Exiting boot services ...

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ardb/linux.git/commit/?h=efi-cleanups-for-v6.1

The idea is to pass the EFI system table pointer and the command line
pointer directly. In previous patches, the initrd and memmap code is
updated so it exposes the information via configuration tables that
the generic code can parse.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ard.
