[PATCH 0/4] Add support for dual bios + efi disk generation

[PATCH 0/4] Add support for dual bios + efi disk generation

[Felix Moessbauer]

This patch ports the bios + efi disk support from OE to ISAR.
By that, the generated disk can be booted both with EFI as well
as with PCBIOS.

Please note, that patches 2 and 3 do not work independently,
but are split for easier refactoring of the isarpluginsbase class.

Best regards,
Felix

[PATCH 1/4] Copy efi-plus-pcbios script from OE

[Felix Moessbauer]

This adds a baseline for further modification to the efi-plus-pcbios
WIC script. It helps to keep track of the ISAR related changes.

+    Create MBR + EFI boot partition
+
+    This plugin creates a boot partition that contains both
+    legacy BIOS and EFI content. It will be able to boot from both.
+    This is useful when managing PC fleet with some older machines
+    without EFI support.
+
+    Note it is possible to create an image that can boot from both
+    legacy BIOS and EFI by defining two partitions : one with arg
+    --source bootimg-efi  and another one with --source bootimg-pcbios.
+    However, this method has the obvious downside that it requires TWO
+    partitions to be created on the storage device.
+    Both partitions will also be marked as "bootable" which does not work on
+    most BIOS, has BIOS often uses the "bootable" flag to determine
+    what to boot. If you have such a BIOS, you need to manually remove the
+    "bootable" flag from the EFI partition for the drive to be bootable.
+    Having two partitions also seems to confuse wic : the content of
+    the first partition will be duplicated into the second, even though it
+    will not be used at all.
+
+    Also, unlike "isoimage-isohybrid" that also does BIOS and EFI, this plugin
+    allows you to have more than only a single rootfs partitions and does
+    not turn the rootfs into an initramfs RAM image.
+
+    This plugin is made to put everything into a single /boot partition so it
+    does not have the limitations listed above.
+
+    The plugin is made so it does tries not to reimplement what's already
+    been done in other plugins; as such it imports "bootimg-pcbios"
+    and "bootimg-efi".
+    Plugin "bootimg-pcbios" is used to generate legacy BIOS boot.
+    Plugin "bootimg-efi" is used to generate the UEFI boot. Note that it
+    requires a --sourceparams argument to know which loader to use; refer
+    to "bootimg-efi" code/documentation for the list of loader.
+
+    Imports are handled with "SourceFileLoader" from importlib as it is
+    otherwise very difficult to import module that has hyphen "-" in their
+    filename.
+    The SourcePlugin() methods used in the plugins (do_install_disk,
+    do_configure_partition, do_prepare_partition) are then called on both,
+    beginning by "bootimg-efi".
+
+    Plugin options, such as "--sourceparams" can still be passed to a
+    plugin, as long they does not cause issue in the other plugin.
+
+    Example wic configuration:
+    part /boot --source bootimg-biosplusefi --sourceparams="loader=grub-efi"\\
+               --ondisk sda --label os_boot --active --align 1024 --use-uuid

[PATCH 2/4] Add ISAR version of biosplusefi WIC plugin

[Felix Moessbauer]

This patch adds support to create a disk image that works with both
EFI and legacy bios. The biosplusefi-isar is based on the original
biosplusefi WIC plugin that internally calls the bootimg-pcbios and
bootimg-efi. By that, code duplication can be avoided.

The generated image can be booted with EFI or legacy pcbios.

[PATCH 3/4] wic: biosplusefi: make sure sub-plugins can import isarpluginbase

[Felix Moessbauer]

From: Henning Schild <henning.schild@siemens.com>

The plugin calls other plugins, which in our case use isarpluginbase.
Make sure that will be in the path so that it can be imported.

i would take more inspiration from the
meta-isar/scripts/lib/wic/canned-wks/sdimage-efi* guys

vga= and video=vesafb are very "bios" centric things, in uefi there is
efifb and no vesa

i guess
bootloader --ptable gpt --timeout 3 --append "rootwait
console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0"

will work just fine

Re: [PATCH 4/4] test: add target for efi-plus-pcbios image type

[Henning Schild]

I think the real test would be to also modify the script starting the
VM waiting for the login prompt, it should boot both ways for at least
one image using this wks.

Re: [PATCH 0/4] Add support for dual bios + efi disk generation

[Henning Schild]

This in fact is a very cool feature with minimal porting effort, the
"fork" from the original from OE is really just naming to call out
sub-plugins for bios and uefi.

What you get are USB sticks that "just work", and VM images that just
work. We have been using that in downstream layer for a long time.
