Details

Summary

In addition to seeing if we can find a UFS partition at offset 0 on
the disk, check to see if there's a BSD disklabel at offset 512
(bytes) and if so, try to use the 'a' partition from that to boot
probe as well.

Event Timeline

Doh! blocks, not bytes, for this arg.

A MBR+EFI image with this change booted for me in QEMU in both UEFI and BIOS modes.

stand/efi/boot1/ufs_module.c
82 ↗(On Diff #43074)

char *buffer[]?
also stack variable ordering

89 ↗(On Diff #43074)

s/normal/common/ or s/normal//?

99–100 ↗(On Diff #43074)

Maybe a static_assert that we're building on a little-endian system? Although hopefully we svn rm efi/boot1 before we look at EFI on say BE MIPS.

106 ↗(On Diff #43074)

return style

stand/efi/boot1/ufs_module.c
105 ↗(On Diff #43074)

perhaps include a || dl->d_partitions[0].p_offset == 0) case?

Better comment about GPT case

Updated to address comments

stand/efi/boot1/ufs_module.c

Doh! Yea, right. bad. It works because sizeof(char *) > sizeof(char)

99–100 ↗(On Diff #43074)

I don't see the point. UEFI is defined in the standard to be little endian. It's quite pervasive through everything, top to bottom. We will never have a BE UEFI thing it's so pervasive....

105 ↗(On Diff #43074)

Sure, it's an optimization, but likely a good one.

stand/efi/boot1/ufs_module.c
99–100 ↗(On Diff #43074)

Fair enough - this one spot is not the right place to make sure we don't try going down the UEFI path on a BE host.

Overall looks good to me. Potential worries would be stack usage and 4k block size issues.

these should still be reordered largest to smallest

Multiple disks require that we don't use globals.

Successfully tested the updated version in QEMU in both EFI and CSM modes.
