[PATCH] v2[LUV]luv-live-image.bb:Switch from MSDOS MBR to GPT including FAT 32.
by AJ James
The change will align to UEFI specs of having an EFI system partion
formatted to FAT and having a GPT type so that the firmware can find it.
Furthermore allow utilization of 128 bit UUID and additional partitions and
a larger range of size. These changes are in reference to
https://github.com/01org/luv-yocto/issues/4
Additionally I switched from bytes to sectors for proper partition
sector alignment and moved the sectors and partition calculations
to variables allowing for easier changes in the future. Space was added
to account for the skipped sector at the beginning of the disk and
and a second skipped sector seperating the two partions for proper alignment
I also capitilized the volumes labels as bitbake reported Fat did
not work well with with lowercase names. Both the luv-results and
luv boot partitions will be FAT32.
Signed-off-by: AJ James <aaron.k.james(a)linux.intel.com>
Changes since v1:
1) Removed leading and trailing spaces
2) Added more detail to commit message explaing the need for GPT, Fat32
and extra space
3) Added more documentation on use of variables
4) Moved end statements to comply with 80 character line limit
5) Removed option to force Fat 32 format in bootimg class
6) Added option to copy bootimg to VFAT after forcing Fat 32 partion
7) Zeroed out beginning and ending partion tables
8) Removed extra space on Luv-Results folder

[PATCH 0/5] Luv: Add netconsole feature
by Gayatri Kammela
Hi,
This is about adding a Linux feature called Netconsole in Linux* UEFI Validation.
In LUV netconsole feature is enabled only for the test suites that run once
the Linux takes control over and BITS test suite will be excluded from
having this kind of support.
Why this feature:
Netconsole in LUV help us debug the kernel panics or system hangs by
sending not only kernel messages but also information regarding the running tests
simultaneously on to the remote machine via ethernet. Now the remote machine can
be on same subnet or different subnet with respective to the local machine
( machine you are trying to boot LUV).
To enable netconsole feature in LUV, changes are made in various files to include
kernel modules like netconsole and different network utilites that can send messages
via ethernet.Besides these changes are made to luv-test-manger to make all the
running tests information sent to dmesg to make the debugging more easy.
How this feature works:
Liberty is given to user to choose the ip address and port number where he/she wants
all messages to sent to. once decided , user can replace the dummy ip address given
in grub.cfg as @,64001@10.11.12.13/ with the destined address and port number.
The same information is mentioned in README file , so that user can get
to know the usage of netconsole.
Requirements for this feature:
Not many changes are required for this feature , except enabling some of the
kernel config options. Luv kernel has config optons enabled that are
obsolutely necessary for the image and to keep the kernel size as low as possible.
Since netconsole require lot of options enabled related to TCP/IP , IPV4 , IPV6 and
filesystem related options. These information can be overwhelming and just for the
sake of clarity some of the important options that needs to enabled are given below
1)CONFIG_NETCONSOLE=m
2)CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC=y
3)CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST=y
4)CONFIG_NET_IPGRE_BROADCAST=y
5)CONFIG_NET_TEAM_MODE_BROADCAST=y
6)CONFIG_IPVLAN=y
7)CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y
8)CONFIG_ETHERNET=y
9)CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
10)CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS=y
The rest of the config options which are included in luv kernel will be taken care by Megha Dey
The goal of this feature is to help us debug the issues we face while booting different
platforms with LUV

Modify the initscripts_1.0.bbappend to include the luv-netconsole
file and then create a runlevel link for it.
By creating runlevel link , luv-netconsole will show up as one of the
start up scripts and runs at all levels ( 2, 3, 4, 5). Running
luv-netconsole at all levels will help netconsole to capture messages
generated at all levels and sends them to a remote machine so that user
will not miss any important detail of it

[PATCH 5/6] luv-test-manager : Redirect the test results to the dmesg buffer
by Gayatri Kammela
Netconsole will only send kernel messages that are in dmesg buffer and
userspace messages are not redirected to the dmesg buffer as they can
be overwhelmingly large
In LUV it would be good to have userspace messages
(messages from running tests) included in dmesg buffer for the sake of
the debugging.
Modify luv-test-manager to redirect the test results to /dev/kmsg
which will inturn inject them back to dmesg buffer. Every test result
will be provided with a timestamp which makes the job of debugging
easy in case of a system hang or panic while booting luv.

[PATCH 3/6] luv: Add a new file 'luv-netconsole' to the initscripts
by Gayatri Kammela
Netconsole is a linux feature that sends the kernel messages
to a remote machine via ethernet. The kernel messages sent over
to remote machine are useful for debugging in case of a kernel
panic.
Netconsole support in luv help debug platforms that luv couldn't
boot. It sends all the information to the remote machine that is
in the ring buffer which includes all kernel messages and luv.results
too. In this way , user can figure out what is causing the hang with
the help of the last message sent along with the timestamp provided
on the remote side
luv-netconsole is capable of sending kernel messages to the remote
machine which belongs to the same subnet and machines that are
not on the same subnet as local machine.
luv-netconsole script is made run at all levels to capture each detail
of the system's boot and continuously sends messages until interrupted
by the user at remote side
luv-netconsole takes the ip address and port number given by the user and
send the kernel messages to the destined ip address provided that remote
machine listens to local machine with the port number given by user

I am glad this worked. You can save the results by doing the following
from the LUV prompt:
$mkdir /tmp/x
$mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/05D6-1523 /tmp/x
$fwts uefirtvariable > /tmp/x/results.txt 2>&1
$umount /tmp/x
This will save the results in the USB stick you use to boot LUV. You
should be able to inspect the results from your Windows machine.
Unfortunately, at the moment we don't support the execution of tests at
the unit-test granularity. We could potentially plan on implementing
this feature. What are your thoughts?
Thanks and BR,

[PATCH] linux-yocto-efi-test: Fix boot crash by mapping EFI memmap entries bottom-up at runtime, instead of top-down
by Ricardo Neri
Beginning with UEFI v2.5 EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE was introduced
that signals that the firmware PE/COFF loader supports splitting
code and data sections of PE/COFF images into separate EFI
memory map entries.
Unfortunately, this implies that memory regions need to be mapped
with with same address offset as in the EFI memory map. Otherwise,
boot crashes will occur.
This is to backport a patch pushed by Matt Fleming to Linux v4.3.

+Subject: [PATCH] x86/efi: Fix boot crash by mapping EFI memmap entries
+ bottom-up at runtime, instead of top-down
+
+Beginning with UEFI v2.5 EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE was introduced
+that signals that the firmware PE/COFF loader supports splitting
+code and data sections of PE/COFF images into separate EFI
+memory map entries. This allows the kernel to map those regions
+with strict memory protections, e.g. EFI_MEMORY_RO for code,
+EFI_MEMORY_XP for data, etc.
+
+Unfortunately, an unwritten requirement of this new feature is
+that the regions need to be mapped with the same offsets
+relative to each other as observed in the EFI memory map. If
+this is not done crashes like this may occur,
+
+ BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at fffffffefe6086dd
+ IP: [<fffffffefe6086dd>] 0xfffffffefe6086dd
+ Call Trace:
+ [<ffffffff8104c90e>] efi_call+0x7e/0x100
+ [<ffffffff81602091>] ? virt_efi_set_variable+0x61/0x90
+ [<ffffffff8104c583>] efi_delete_dummy_variable+0x63/0x70
+ [<ffffffff81f4e4aa>] efi_enter_virtual_mode+0x383/0x392
+ [<ffffffff81f37e1b>] start_kernel+0x38a/0x417
+ [<ffffffff81f37495>] x86_64_start_reservations+0x2a/0x2c
+ [<ffffffff81f37582>] x86_64_start_kernel+0xeb/0xef
+
+Here 0xfffffffefe6086dd refers to an address the firmware
+expects to be mapped but which the OS never claimed was mapped.
+The issue is that included in these regions are relative
+addresses to other regions which were emitted by the firmware
+toolchain before the "splitting" of sections occurred at
+runtime.
+
+Needless to say, we don't satisfy this unwritten requirement on
+x86_64 and instead map the EFI memory map entries in reverse
+order. The above crash is almost certainly triggerable with any
+kernel newer than v3.13 because that's when we rewrote the EFI
+runtime region mapping code, in commit d2f7cbe7b26a ("x86/efi:
+Runtime services virtual mapping"). For kernel versions before
+v3.13 things may work by pure luck depending on the
+fragmentation of the kernel virtual address space at the time we
+map the EFI regions.
+
+Instead of mapping the EFI memory map entries in reverse order,
+where entry N has a higher virtual address than entry N+1, map
+them in the same order as they appear in the EFI memory map to
+preserve this relative offset between regions.
+
+This patch has been kept as small as possible with the intention
+that it should be applied aggressively to stable and
+distribution kernels. It is very much a bugfix rather than
+support for a new feature, since when EFI_PROPERTIES_TABLE is
+enabled we must map things as outlined above to even boot - we
+have no way of asking the firmware not to split the code/data
+regions.
+
+In fact, this patch doesn't even make use of the more strict
+memory protections available in UEFI v2.5. That will come later.
