#define BASE_LIST_FOR_EACH (   Entry,
  ListHead 
)    for(Entry = (ListHead)->ForwardLink; Entry != (ListHead); Entry = Entry->ForwardLink)

Iterates over each node in a doubly linked list using each node's forward link.

Parameters
EntryA pointer to a list node used as a loop cursor during iteration
ListHeadThe head node of the doubly linked list
#define BASE_LIST_FOR_EACH_SAFE (   Entry,
  NextEntry,
  ListHead 
)
Value:
for(Entry = (ListHead)->ForwardLink, NextEntry = Entry->ForwardLink;\
Entry != (ListHead); Entry = NextEntry, NextEntry = Entry->ForwardLink)

Iterates over each node in a doubly linked list using each node's forward link with safety against node removal.

This macro uses NextEntry to temporarily store the next list node so the node pointed to by Entry may be deleted in the current loop iteration step and iteration can continue from the node pointed to by NextEntry.

Parameters
EntryA pointer to a list node used as a loop cursor during iteration
NextEntryA pointer to a list node used to temporarily store the next node
ListHeadThe head node of the doubly linked list

#define INITIALIZE_LIST_HEAD_VARIABLE (   ListHead)    {&(ListHead), &(ListHead)}

Initializes the head node of a doubly linked list that is declared as a global variable in a module.

Initializes the forward and backward links of a new linked list. After initializing a linked list with this macro, the other linked list functions may be used to add and remove nodes from the linked list. This macro results in smaller executables by initializing the linked list in the data section, instead if calling the InitializeListHead() function to perform the equivalent operation.

Parameters
ListHeadThe head note of a list to initialize.

Typedef Documentation

typedef INTN(EFIAPI * BASE_SORT_COMPARE)(IN CONST VOID *Buffer1, IN CONST VOID *Buffer2)

Prototype for comparison function for any two element types.

Parameters
[in]Buffer1The pointer to first buffer.
[in]Buffer2The pointer to second buffer.
Return values
0Buffer1 equal to Buffer2.
Returns
<0 Buffer1 is less than Buffer2.
>0 Buffer1 is greater than Buffer2.
typedef VOID(EFIAPI * SWITCH_STACK_ENTRY_POINT)(IN VOID *Context1, IN VOID *Context2)

Function entry point used when a stack switch is requested with SwitchStack()

Parameters
Context1Context1 parameter passed into SwitchStack().
Context2Context2 parameter passed into SwitchStack().
typedef VOID( X86_ASSEMBLY_PATCH_LABEL)(VOID)

Type definition for representing labels in NASM source code that allow for the patching of immediate operands of IA32 and X64 instructions.

While the type is technically defined as a function type (note: not a pointer-to-function type), such labels in NASM source code never stand for actual functions, and identifiers declared with this function type should never be called. This is also why the EFIAPI calling convention specifier is missing from the typedef, and why the typedef does not follow the usual edk2 coding style for function (or pointer-to-function) typedefs. The VOID return type and the VOID argument list are merely artifacts.

VOID EFIAPI AsmThunk16 ( IN OUT THUNK_CONTEXT ThunkContext)

Transfers control to a 16-bit real mode entry point and returns the results.

Transfers control to a 16-bit real mode entry point and returns the results. AsmPrepareThunk16() must be called with ThunkContext before this function is used. This function must be called with interrupts disabled.

The register state from the RealModeState field of ThunkContext is restored just prior to calling the 16-bit real mode entry point. This includes the EFLAGS field of RealModeState, which is used to set the interrupt state when a 16-bit real mode entry point is called. Control is transferred to the 16-bit real mode entry point specified by the CS and Eip fields of RealModeState. The stack is initialized to the SS and ESP fields of RealModeState. Any parameters passed to the 16-bit real mode code must be populated by the caller at SS:ESP prior to calling this function. The 16-bit real mode entry point is invoked with a 16-bit CALL FAR instruction, so when accessing stack contents, the 16-bit real mode code must account for the 16-bit segment and 16-bit offset of the return address that were pushed onto the stack. The 16-bit real mode entry point must exit with a RETF instruction. The register state is captured into RealModeState immediately after the RETF instruction is executed.

If EFLAGS specifies interrupts enabled, or any of the 16-bit real mode code enables interrupts, or any of the 16-bit real mode code makes a SW interrupt, then the caller is responsible for making sure the IDT at address 0 is initialized to handle any HW or SW interrupts that may occur while in 16-bit real mode.

If EFLAGS specifies interrupts enabled, or any of the 16-bit real mode code enables interrupts, then the caller is responsible for making sure the 8259 PIC is in a state compatible with 16-bit real mode. This includes the base vectors, the interrupt masks, and the edge/level trigger mode.

If THUNK_ATTRIBUTE_BIG_REAL_MODE is set in the ThunkAttributes field of ThunkContext, then the user code is invoked in big real mode. Otherwise, the user code is invoked in 16-bit real mode with 64KB segment limits.

If neither THUNK_ATTRIBUTE_DISABLE_A20_MASK_INT_15 nor THUNK_ATTRIBUTE_DISABLE_A20_MASK_KBD_CTRL are set in ThunkAttributes, then it is assumed that the user code did not enable the A20 mask, and no attempt is made to disable the A20 mask.

If THUNK_ATTRIBUTE_DISABLE_A20_MASK_INT_15 is set and THUNK_ATTRIBUTE_DISABLE_A20_MASK_KBD_CTRL is clear in ThunkAttributes, then attempt to use the INT 15 service to disable the A20 mask. If this INT 15 call fails, then attempt to disable the A20 mask by directly accessing the 8042 keyboard controller I/O ports.

If THUNK_ATTRIBUTE_DISABLE_A20_MASK_INT_15 is clear and THUNK_ATTRIBUTE_DISABLE_A20_MASK_KBD_CTRL is set in ThunkAttributes, then attempt to disable the A20 mask by directly accessing the 8042 keyboard controller I/O ports.

If ThunkContext is NULL, then ASSERT(). If AsmPrepareThunk16() was not previously called with ThunkContext, then ASSERT(). If both THUNK_ATTRIBUTE_DISABLE_A20_MASK_INT_15 and THUNK_ATTRIBUTE_DISABLE_A20_MASK_KBD_CTRL are set in ThunkAttributes, then ASSERT().

This interface is limited to be used in either physical mode or virtual modes with paging enabled where the virtual to physical mappings for ThunkContext.RealModeBuffer are mapped 1:1.

Parameters
ThunkContextA pointer to the context structure that describes the 16-bit real mode code to call.

RETURN_STATUS EFIAPI Base64Decode ( IN CONST CHAR8 Source,
IN UINTN  SourceSize,
OUT UINT8 Destination,
IN OUT UINTN DestinationSize 
)

Decode Base64 ASCII encoded data to 8-bit binary representation, based on RFC4648.

Decoding occurs according to "Table 1: The Base 64 Alphabet" in RFC4648.

Whitespace is ignored at all positions:

  • 0x09 ('') horizontal tab
  • 0x0A ('
    ') new line
  • 0x0B ('') vertical tab
  • 0x0C ('') form feed
  • 0x0D ('') carriage return
  • 0x20 (' ') space

The minimum amount of required padding (with ASCII 0x3D, '=') is tolerated and enforced at the end of the Base64 ASCII encoded data, and only there.

Other characters outside of the encoding alphabet cause the function to reject the Base64 ASCII encoded data.

Parameters
[in]SourceArray of CHAR8 elements containing the Base64 ASCII encoding. May be NULL if SourceSize is zero.
[in]SourceSizeNumber of CHAR8 elements in Source.
[out]DestinationArray of UINT8 elements receiving the decoded 8-bit binary representation. Allocated by the caller. May be NULL if DestinationSize is zero on input. If NULL, decoding is performed, but the 8-bit binary representation is not stored. If non-NULL and the function returns an error, the contents of Destination are indeterminate.
[in,out]DestinationSizeOn input, the number of UINT8 elements that the caller allocated for Destination. On output, if the function returns RETURN_SUCCESS or RETURN_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL, the number of UINT8 elements that are required for decoding the Base64 ASCII representation. If the function returns a value different from both RETURN_SUCCESS and RETURN_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL, then DestinationSize is indeterminate on output.
Return values
RETURN_SUCCESSSourceSize CHAR8 elements at Source have been decoded to on-output DestinationSize UINT8 elements at Destination. Note that RETURN_SUCCESS covers the case when DestinationSize is zero on input, and Source decodes to zero bytes (due to containing at most ignored whitespace).
RETURN_BUFFER_TOO_SMALLThe input value of DestinationSize is not large enough for decoding SourceSize CHAR8 elements at Source. The required number of UINT8 elements has been stored to DestinationSize.
RETURN_INVALID_PARAMETERDestinationSize is NULL.
RETURN_INVALID_PARAMETERSource is NULL, but SourceSize is not zero.
RETURN_INVALID_PARAMETERDestination is NULL, but DestinationSize is not zero on input.
RETURN_INVALID_PARAMETERSource is non-NULL, and (Source + SourceSize) would wrap around MAX_ADDRESS.
RETURN_INVALID_PARAMETERDestination is non-NULL, and (Destination + DestinationSize) would wrap around MAX_ADDRESS, as specified on input.
RETURN_INVALID_PARAMETERNone of Source and Destination are NULL, and CHAR8[SourceSize] at Source overlaps UINT8[DestinationSize] at Destination, as specified on input.
RETURN_INVALID_PARAMETERInvalid CHAR8 element encountered in Source.
