Introduce a proper enum, and don't pass around string ids anymore. This
simplifies things quite a bit, and makes virtualization detection more
similar to architecture detection.
systemctl and logind were unconditionally using functions that were not compiled
on non-EFI systems. Add stubs returning -EOPNOTSUPP to fix compile again.
There was a bug where is_efi_*() could return a negative error value, which would be treated as 'true',
just make this a bool in the helper library to avoid the problem.
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
When run in an initrd and no root= argument is set (or is set to
root=gpt-auto) we will automatically look for the root partition on the
same disk the EFI ESP is located on.
Since we look for swap, /home and /srv on the disk the root partition is
located on, we hence have a fully discoverable chain:
Firmware discovers the EFI ESP partition → the initrd discovers the
root partition → the host OS discovers swap, /home, and /srv.
Note that this requires an EFI boot loader that sets the
LoaderDevicePartUUID EFI variable, such as Gummiboot.
If -flto is used then gcc will generate a lot more warnings than before,
among them a number of use-without-initialization warnings. Most of them
without are false positives, but let's make them go away, because it
doesn't really matter.
This extends 62678ded 'efi: never call qsort on potentially
NULL arrays' to all other places where qsort is used and it
is not obvious that the count is non-zero.
Prefer firmware-provided performance data over loader-exported ones; if
ACPI data is available, always use it, otherwise try to read the loader
data.
The firmware-provided variables start at the time the first EFI image
is executed and end when the operating system exits the boot services;
the (loader) time calculated in systemd-analyze increases.
This allows us to print simple performance data of all parts of the boot now:
- firmware
- boot loader
- kernel
- initrd
- userspace
This only works for bootloaders which support passing TSC data via EFI
variables. As of now that's only gummiboot.
