"run -e" allows for executing EFI application with a specific "BootXXXX"
variable. If no "BootXXXX" is specified or "BootOrder" is specified,
it tries to run an EFI application specified in the order of "bootOrder."

If we cannot specify the device tree what would be the use of this for
ARM processors?

Why do you add the option to run and not to bootefi?

You already introduced the capability to set BootNext. Why isn't that
enough?

I don't get your point. What's the matter with device tree?

Simple.

=> run -e Boot0001

versus

=> efidebug boot next 1
=> bootefi bootmgr

First of all, efidebug is only recognized as a *debugging* tool.
I believe that the former syntax is more intuitive, and it looks
a natural extension to "run" command semantics akin to "env -e".

As a result, we don't have to know about bootefi for normal operations.

To boot an ARM board on Linux or BSD you need a device tree.

So run -e Boot0001 will not allow you to boot into Linux because it does
not specify a device tree.

In patch 4/5 you already introduced 'bootefi bootmgr $fdt_addr_r 0001'

So there is no need to go through efidebug.

I think we should avoid alternative commands.

But you have to know about 'run' which you might not need otherwise.

When I discussed with Alex about Boot Manager (and distro_bootcmd?),
he suggested that we should not allow users to specify fdt at a command line.
I believe that it would apply to my case above.

IMO, we should always provide system's fdt to EFI applications.

As I said, I already removed this feature from bootefi.

"run" is much better known to U-Boot users than bootefi.

With current Linux development practice this unfortunately does not
work. Linux device trees sometimes see incompatible changes between
versions. Booting may fail with a device tree that is either too old or
too new for your Linux version.

E.g. for the Odroid C2 some reserved memory regions were removed from
the device tree and replaced by a logic that determines them on the fly
due to changes in ARM trusted firmware location.

The Wandboard rev B1 device tree was moved to a new file when a new
board revision appeared and the new revision changed the old file (sic).

U-Boot is also not perfect at keeping its device tree in sync with the
newest Linux device tree.

Do you have a statistic ;)

Up to now booting always required a command starting on boot...

Why don't you use "fdt" command in that case?
IMO, we don't need <fdt> argument at bootefi (and run -e).
Obviously, I have one assumption that we need change the code
to utilize "fdtaddr" variable in do_bootefi().

Under the current implementation, a similar behavior is achieved
only via distro_bootcmd. IMO, this should be corrected.
If you agree, I will add another patch to my current patchset
for this purpose.

What I meant is that people need not learn more commands.

# Relating to secure boot, I'm now thinking of pulling bootmgr out of
# bootefi and making it as a single command. In that case,
# bootefi does exist only for hello and selftest.

Such a change would mean that after an upgrade of U-Boot all boards
running on Suse and Fedora suddenly will not boot again.

We should not change existing commands in an incompatible way.

I suggest to drop patch 5/5 from your series.

Why do you think so?
Unless people intentionally run "fdt" command before bootefi,
the system will behave in the exact same way.

How many people really expect that, in the case below,
  => load ... <addr> <file>
  => fdt addr <addr>
  => bootefi bootmgr
bootefi will start EFI application *without* fdt?

Your previous mail sounded to me as if you wanted to drop the
possibility to specify an FDT address in the bootefi command. But maybe
I got you wrong.

If your idea is that we should use the address specified in command fdt
and $fdtcontroladdr as fallbacks if no FDT address is specified, that is
another story.

This function does not invoke:

        allow_unaligned();
        switch_to_non_secure_mode();

Probably these calls should be moved to efi_init_obj_list() anyway.

No, even in v2, I didn't change any semantics in do_bootefi()
and hence bootefi command.

Exactly for "run -e" case (and probably a new command, efibootmgr, too).

The only concern is an incompatibility with distro_bootcmd.
It has yet another logic regarding fdt.

I've already fixed it in my pre-v3 patch.

Can be, but the name no longer represents its function.
