How to test EFI File System Transposition for GRUB

  1. Apply the EFI File System Transposition patches to your git repository.
  2. Download supergrub2-2.06s1-beta2-multiarch-CD.iso from here (Courtesy of https://sourceforge.net/projects/supergrub2/). We use Super GRUB2 Disk so that we don't have to create our own GRUB config and also because its ISO was created using grub-mkrescue from 2.06 and exhibits the issues we are trying to address.
  3. We'll need to issue make install so that grub-mkrescue can collect the necessary files from the "system" for the ISOHybrid creation, so make sure to create a custom target install directory (e.g. ~/grub-install) so that your build will use this rather than the system defaults.
  4. Create a `

Creating a new SB submission

  1. Put all the _ro drivers to sign in a drivers\ subdirectory
  2. Create signed cab using the following script:
    @echo off
    setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
    set CABFILE=ntfs-driver.cab
    set DIR=drivers

Pete's quick edk2/edk2-platform submission guide

Preamble

This guide is meant as a complement to Laszlo's more official guide, in order to fill some missing bits and pieces.

This assumes that you cloned the edk2, edk2-platforms and edk2-non-osi repository and set up tianocore.template, edk2.diff.order and so on.

Subject: [PATCH] All: Prevent memory leaks on realloc failures
* p = realloc(p, new_size) does not free the original buffer in case of
a realloc failure.
* reallocf() can be used to do so, but is not available on all platforms.
* This patch introduces usbi_reallocf() in libusbi.h and use that instead of realloc
* Issue and original patch submitted by Moritz Lipp (trac #27)

Subject: [PATCH] Free 'altsetting' upon failed realloc
If the reallocation of 'altsetting' fails the variable gets set to NULL
while the memory it originally pointed to remains untouched. This patch
resolves this common error by introducing a temporary variable that is
used to catch the failed reallocation and freeing the previously
allocated memory.
