      [configs/releng] Add UEFI boot support via Linux >= 3.3 EFI boot stub on x86_64 · 6caa5bcb
      Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi authored 
      

Makes an efiboot.img (FAT16) for "El Torito" (additional).
Under an EFI-system, implies that this .ISO works only if is used
as "CD-ROM/DVD-ROM" not in ISO-HYBRID-MBR mode.
If you want, an EFI-ready USB-key, just unpack this "<ISO>/EFI/efiboot.img" (FAT16) to
"<USB-key-FAT-formatted>/EFI" then copy "<ISO>/arch" and setup the filesystem label.

An aditional EFI shell is provided with an startup script for automatic booting
until EFI_STUB supports "linux.conf" to pass boot parms to kernel.
Anyway I think that is a good idea to keep this shell, so can customize boot parms,
or for doing other tasks on systems without an EFI-shell.

RFCv1: Initial efiboot.img build with vmlinuz.efi (Linux with EFI_STUB enabled)
       and archiso.img (initramfs).
RFCv2: Use an startup.nsh with EFI-Shell 2.0 (generated from build.sh) for automatic boot.
RFCv3: Use and older EFI-Shell 1.0 instead of 2.0, since not all UEFI-systems
       are compatible with 2.3+ specs.
RFCv4: The script "startup.nsh" improved by Keshav P R, using a for-loop
       (see notes below from original commit), now that has more than 1-line,
       I moved it to an independent file and is parsed by build.sh.

    [configs/releng] Search in all existing UEFI FS mountpoints for archiso efistub kernel file

    There is no guarantee that the efistub kernel will always be in fs0:
    (similar to the case inside linux OS where the sda, sdb confusion exists,
    hence the need for UUIDs), especially when USB (instead os CD/ISO) is
    used for booting.

    Hence loop through all possible fs mountpoints (in UEFI) in startup.nsh
    and try to launch the first mountpoint that contains the archiso files.

    Cd's into the fs%m:\EFI\archiso directory also may remove future issues
    with efistub's linux.conf where the efistub might have problems
    identifying the directory from which the kernel was launched.

    Also add an helpful echo message showing the user the UEFI PATH to the
    archiso kernel file being launched by startup.nsh .

    Hopefully this should work in both CD and USB. Tested in Tianocore
    UDK/EDK2 DuetPkg X64 UEFI 2.3.1 firmware with EdkShellBinPkg's Shell.

      [configs/releng] Make all syslinux bootloaders works with the sames configs. · 0411fc90
      Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi authored 
      

* In that way, we have unified directory scheme among {pxe,sys,ext,iso}linux,
  sharing the same directory structure and config files.
* Also enable IPAPPEND (will show a warning message about unknown directive in non-pxelinux before menu)

NEW:
* Rename syslinux*.cfg -> archiso*.cfg
* Now syslinux.cfg is only a "loadconfig" trick like we are doing for isolinux
* All paths are now relative to %INSTALL_DIR% ($archisobasedir) (Default: /arch/)

      [archiso] Add PXE NFS support · 76dea165
      Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi authored 
      It add support for using *.sfs images via NFS.

It must be located after archiso_pxe_nbd in mkinitcpio.conf, in that way
NBD is the default.

New boot parameters:

    archiso_nfs_srv=IP:/path
         Set the NFS IP and path. Accepts ${pxeserver} as IP.

    archiso_nfs_opt= Sets NFS mount opts (comma separated)

      [archiso] Add archiso_pxe_curl hook · 8eb4c624
      Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi authored 
      Its add support for downloading the ISO image via HTTP/FTP with curl or download *.sfs files.
The files are downloaded on /run/archiso/curlspace (tmpfs) and setup a loop dev from it
(like in archiso_loop_mnt) in the ISO case, or just do a bind mount to
/run/archiso/bootmnt in the other case.

This hook must be located after archiso_pxe_nbd in mkinitcpio.conf, in that way
NBD is the default.

New bootparm:
* archiso_curl_url=(first form)
    archiso_curl_url=http://192.168.0.7/archlinux/iso/archlinux.iso (absolute form)
        Use an absolute URL. Fetch the entire ISO
    archiso_curl_url=ftp://${pxeserver}/archlinux/iso/archlinux.iso (relative form)
        Use the as IP the same server where PXE reside.  Fetch the entire ISO

* archiso_curl_url=(second form)
    archiso_curl_url=http://192.168.0.7/archlinux/iso/unpacked

 (absolute form)
        Use an absolute URL. Where unpacked (an example name) is a directory where
        ${archisobasedir} ("arch" by default) is located with all *.sfs.
        This fetch only needed files.
    archiso_curl_url=ftp://${pxeserver}/archlinux/iso/unpacked (relative form)
        Use the as IP the same server where PXE reside. Where unpacked (an example name)
        is a directory where ${archisobasedir} ("arch" by default)
        is located with all *.sfs. This fetch only needed files.

* curlspace_size= Set a size for a tmpfs filesystem where files are downloaded.

      [archiso] Split archiso_pxe_nbd in two hooks. · 1edaf15c
      Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi authored 
      

One hook only setup the network device (archiso_pxe_common) the other
setup the NBD client (archiso_pxe_nbd).

New bootparam:
    archiso_pxe_srv=IP
        Allow to set an IP different from the PXE server.
