Hi,
In case U-Boot starts with GD_FLG_SKIP_RELOC, the efi loader
relocation code breaks down because it assumes gd->relocaddr
points to relocated U-Boot code, which is not the case. Add
special case for handling GD_FLG_SKIP_RELOC, which uses the
__image_copy_start instead of gd->relocaddr for efi loader
code relocation source address.
GD_FLG_SKIP_RELOC is only to be used by the x86 EFI app which is
incompatible with CONFIG_EFI_LOADER=y.
lib/efi/efi_app.c:131: board_init_f(GD_FLG_SKIP_RELOC);
Why do we need this patch?
GD_FLG_SKIP_RELOC is set when U-Boot doesn't perform relocation, it has
nothing to do with EFI. That case is currently broken, try setting
GD_FLG_SKIP_RELOC early on in U-Boot (somewhere early, e.g. in
mach_cpu_init()) and the system crashes on board_init_r when
initializing EFI.
You missed the second question:
Why should the change be ARM specific?
It shouldn't, do you have a more generic idea ?
