[PATCH v7 2/2] schemas: Add some common reserved-memory usages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



It is common to split firmware into 'Platform Init', which does the
initial hardware setup and a "Payload" which selects the OS to be booted.
Thus an handover interface is required between these two pieces.

Where UEFI boot-time services are not available, but UEFI firmware is
present on either side of this interface, information about memory usage
and attributes must be presented to the "Payload" in some form.

This aims to provide an small schema addition for the memory mapping
needed to keep these two pieces working together well.

Changes in v7:
- Rename acpi-reclaim to acpi
- Drop individual mention of when memory can be reclaimed
- Rewrite the item descriptions
- Add back the UEFI text (with trepidation)

Changes in v6:
- Drop mention of UEFI
- Use compatible strings instead of node names

Changes in v5:
- Drop the memory-map node (should have done that in v4)
- Tidy up schema a bit

Changes in v4:
- Make use of the reserved-memory node instead of creating a new one

Changes in v3:
- Reword commit message again
- cc a lot more people, from the FFI patch
- Split out the attributes into the /memory nodes

Changes in v2:
- Reword commit message
