Legacy BIOS Interface • Legacy BIOS provides OS with I/O routines via x86 software interrupts • Normally for OS booting • Can also be used at runtime by legacy OSes (DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 9X) • Typical software interrupts used by legacy OS loaders • INT 10h – Video display • INT 13h – Floppy/Hard disk I/O • INT 15h – Extended memory support, Report memory map, … • INT 16h – Keyboard input • INT 19h – Bootstrap loader • INT 1Ah – System date and time, PCI BIOS real mode interface 继续 返回
Boot OS under Legacy BIOS • BIOS identifies all IPL(Initial Program Load) devices in the system and determines the boot order during POST • BAIDs (BIOS Aware IPL Device) • PnP ISA/PCI Cards • Legacy ISA/PCI cards may hook INT 19h to control the boot process • BIOS invokes INT 19h after POST to start booting OS • The INT 19h handler attempts to boot from IPL devices sequentially in the boot order, if failed then next • Boot flow when normally booting from hard disk • Hard disk is partitioned to up to 4 primary partitions so that multiple OSes can co-exist • The first sector (cylinder 0, head 0, sector 1) referred to as MBR (Main Boot Record) contains OS independent bootstrap code • INT 19h handler relies on INT 13h to read MBR into 0:7C00h • INT 19h handler verifies the validity of MBR • INT 19h handler transfers the control to the MBR bootstrap code by jumping to 0:7C00h 继续 返回

What Does MBR Do? • Replicate itself to a memory range at lower address to make room for the coming OS bootstrap code • Parse the partition table to find the active partition • Load the first sector of the active partition to memory at 0:7C00h • Verify the validity of the sector as a bootstrap sector • Transfer the control to the OS bootstrap sector by jumping to 0:7C00h • OS specific bootstrap process starts Refer to UEFI Specification Revision 2.2 section 5.2 继续 返回
UEFI Boot Mechanisms • File level boot • EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL • EFI_LOAD_FILE_PROTOCOL • Boot options are defined via Boot#### variables • Two types of boot options • UEFI OS boot loaders • Other UEFI applications • System firmware and OS installer can set to a known set of boot options • UEFI boot manager attempts to load and execute boot options in the order defined by the BootOrder variable • If a boot option failed and the device path points directly to an EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL device and specify no exact file, then search for a default application to boot per removable media boot behavior • If no valid boot options are present, a default behavior is defined • Enumerate all removable media devices followed by all fixed media devices • Removable media boot behavior applies to the devices support EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL • Otherwise, attempt to boot the device via the EFI_LOAD_FILE_PROTOCOL • Removable media boot behavior • \EFI\BOOT\BOOT{machine type short-name}.EFI 继续 返回
GPT Advantages over MBR Partition Table • 64-bit Logical Block Addressing. • Supports many partitions. • Uses a primary and backup table for redundancy. • Uses version number and size fields for future expansion. • Uses CRC32 fields for improved data integrity. • Defines a GUID for uniquely identifying each partition. • Uses a GUID and attributes to define partition content type. • Each partition contains a 36 Unicode character human readable name. 继续 返回
UEFI System Partition • Persistent store on large mass storage media types for storing UEFI OS boot loader images, drivers/applications to extend platform firmware capabilities and other data files • Infrastructure to increase platform value-add without significantly growing the need for nonvolatile platform memory • Place can be shared by firmware developers, OEMs, OSVs and third parties • Based on FA32 file system • Identification • Legacy MBR partitioning scheme: new partition type 0xef • GPT: C12A7328-F81F-11d2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B 继续 返回
