dasharo/uefi_capsules.c: coalesce and store UEFI capsules
How it approximately works: (During a normal system run): 1. OS puts a capsule into RAM and calls UpdateCapsule() function of EFI runtime 2. If applying the update requires a reboot, EFI implementation creates a new CapsuleUpdateData* EFI variable pointing at the beginning of capsules description (not data, but description of the data) and does a warm reboot leaving capsule data and its description in RAM to be picked by firmware on the next boot process (After DEV_INIT:) 3. Capsules are discovered by checking for CapsuleUpdateData* variables 4 Capsule description in memory and capsule data is validated for sanity 5. Capsule data is coalesced into a continuous piece of memory (On BS_WRITE_TABLES via dasharo_add_capsules_to_bootmem() hook:) 6. Buffer with coalesced capsules is marked as reserved (On BS_WRITE_TABLES via lb_uefi_capsules() hook:) 7. coreboot table entries are added for each of the discovered capsules (In UEFI payload:) 8. CapsuleUpdateData* get removed 9. CBMEM is checked for any update capsules which are then applied Change-Id: I162d678ae5c504906084b59c1a8d8c26dadb9433 Signed-off-by: Sergii Dmytruk <[email protected]>
