This fixes a valid compiler warning on 64-bit about "cast from pointer
to integer of different size".

efi: workaround upstream gnu-efi compiler warnings

firmware: s/set_mode/text_mode/

2013-07-04T11:29:02+00:00

We only ever use ->set_mode() to transition into text mode, so rename it
to something more suitable and drop the unused 'mode' argument.

efi: only read ADV when booting from disk

2013-07-03T11:14:35+00:00

We aren't expecting to be able to access ldlinux.sys when booting over
PXE. Follow the pre-5.00 behaviour and simply initialise the ADV buffer
without even attempting to open the file. Also, delete all references to
EXTLINUX, we do not support it under EFI.

Without this patch we hang in efi_open() when booting PXELINUX because
no root volume is set as we're not booting from disk. This regression
was caused by commit a17fdfb8 ("com32: Catch up with GCC changes to
ctor/dtor funcs") because now constructors are actually being invoked on
EFI and efi_adv_init() is called by __syslinux_init().

efi: update derivative info on boot

2013-07-03T11:12:18+00:00

Various bits of Syslinux use the filesystem type of the derivative info
structure to figure out how we were booted. Update this for SYSLINUX and
PXELINUX.

conio: Fix pollchar() for serial console

2013-07-01T09:28:15+00:00

The check of the LSR value was inverted. This resulted in pollchar()
always claiming that there was data to be read from the serial console.

com32: Catch up with GCC changes to ctor/dtor funcs

2013-06-28T13:36:52+00:00

Cherry-pick commit e55d4988 ("com32: Include .init_array section in
.ctors in linker script") from the elflink branch.

People were seeing this bug manifest as an error when using the CONFIG
directive. Loading a new main configuration file causes ldlinux.* to be
reloaded and relies on its destructor functions being executed.

This change was missed during merging because com32/lib/elf32.ld should
have been deleted when we added per-architecture linker scripts. Had we
done that, we'd have seen a merge conflict. Because the unused file was
left around, things merged silently.

Delete the unused file with extreme prejudice.
