Always strip all the modules

2013-01-17T18:54:40+00:00

Always strip the modules; they are too big unstripped.  Specifically,
we generate unstripped *.elf files, and then convert them to
stripped *.c32 files.

Merge branch 'master' into elflink

2012-10-24T13:41:00+00:00

The following conflict is a result of the fact comapi_chainboot was
only stubbed out on the 'elflink' branch but was properly marked as
obsolete in 'master'.

Add per-firmware object directory support

2012-10-16T10:38:01+00:00

Now that we have multiple firmware backends it no longer makes sense
to write object files to the same directory as their source. A better
solution is to write the object files to a per-firmware directory
under a top-level object directory.

The top-level object directory can be specified on the command-line
with the O= variable, e.g. make O=/tmp/obj. If no top-level object
directory is specified an 'obj' directory is created in the top-level
of the Syslinux source repository.

All the existing make targets continue to work as before, however now
they apply to all firmware backends, e.g. 'make installer' will build
the BIOS, 32-bit EFI and 64-bit EFI installers and place them under
$(OBJ)/bios, $(OBJ)/efi32 and $(OBJ)/efi64 respectively.

Note unlike every other bit of Syslinux, the gpxe objects are still
kept in the src directory, e.g. gpxe/src, since gpxe is only required
by the BIOS backend.

It is possible to specify a make target for a specific firmware or
list of firmware with the following syntax,

    make [firmware[,firmware]] [target[,target]]

To clean the object directory for just the BIOS firmware type,

      'make bios clean'

To build both the 32-bit and 64-bit EFI installers type,

     'make efi32 efi64 installer'

Since the Syslinux make infrastructure is now more complex a new file
doc/building.txt has been created to explain how to build Syslinux.

The top-level Makefile now exports some make variables for use in
module Makefiles,

    - topdir - the top-level source directory of the Syslinux
      repository, e.g. /usr/src/syslinux

    - objdir - the top-level object directory for the firmware
      backend currently being built, e.g. /obj/syslinux/bios

    - SRC - the source directory in the Syslinux repository for the
      module currently being built,
      e.g. /usr/src/syslinux/com32/libupload

    - OBJ - the object directory for the module currently being
      built, e.g. /obj/syslinux/bios/com32/libupload

Since we're rewriting the Makefile infrastructure anyway it seemed
like a good idea to add parallel support. By writing subdirectories as
prequisites for make targets the objects in those subdirectories can
be built in parallel.

In the current Lua.c32 DMI implementation, it is a flat table with dotted names in table entries. It also misses a number DMI sub-tables.

2012-09-22T16:25:49+00:00

This patch, cleans up the DMI table structure using Lua's nested table structure and adds all missing DMI sub-tables. If a DMI sub-table is not supported by the hardware (not filled), then the corresponding sub-table will not be generated. This helps to make the table structure cleaner and reflects the actual DMI information.

Added the native syslinux functions config_file(), ipappend_strs(), and reboot() to Lua.c32. This allows the Lua script to query the config file name and the ipappend strings (pxelinux only), as well as to perform reboot (warm and cold) to the system.

2012-09-22T16:23:38+00:00

In Lua.c32, the extension will be used as the following:
  1. syslinux.config_file() will return the config file string.
  2. syslinux.ipappend_strs() will return a table of IPAPPEND strings with numerical indices.
  3. syslinux.reboot() will perform cold reboot, while syslinux.reboot(1) will perform warm reboot.

The current Lua.c32 does not enable io.read() due to some missing library functions. However, this strongly limits the Lua script from getting user inputs and reading files (even in pxelinux via TFTP).

2012-09-22T16:22:55+00:00

This patch enables io.read() in Lua.c32 with some restrictions:
  1. the io.read("*line") is fully supported.
  2. the io.read("*number") is not supported due to the missing buffering in underlying file I/Os. However, the user can read a line using io.read() and convert the string to numbers using the built in pattern matching and number conversion features.
  3. io.read(bytes) is supported. However, io.read(0) will not be a valid test for EOF due to the missing I/O buffering. io.read() will return nil if EOF is encountered. This offers an alternative way to handle EOF.

Merge branch 'master' into elflink

2012-07-19T15:07:01+00:00

The reason for this merge is that we need the fix to core/fs/cache.c
without which we can potentially dereference an invalid pointer.

The below conflict is a result of the new setup_data blob code being
merged from the master branch.
